His performance
Josh Dobbs was drafted by the Steelers in the 4th round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He didn’t see much action his rookie year, as he was buried on the depth chart behind Big Ben and Landry Jones. However, he was thrust into action in 2018 when Landry Jones went down with an injury. Dobbs played admirably in his limited action, completing 62% of his passes for 546 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.
The 2019 season will be a make or break year for Dobbs, as the Steelers have brought in veteran QB Devlin Hodges to compete for the backup job. If Dobbs can beat out Hodges and prove that he is capable of leading the team if called upon, he should be able to stick around in Pittsburgh for a few more years. However, if he struggles or is unable to win the backup job, it’s likely that he will be out of the NFL sooner rather than later.
