Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges is hanging it up. The Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League announced his retirement from professional football on their website Friday evening.
“I’d like to thank the REDBLACKS for bringing me to Ottawa and giving me this opportunity,” Hodges said in a statement. “I have gained a lot of respect for the CFL and its fans – particularly RNation! I’m excited to see what the future holds but I know that the next chapter in my life is going to be fun.”
Hodges, who broke the FCS record for passing yards with 14,584, was brought in by the Steelers as a fourth string camp arm out of Samford in 2019.
