James Conner: Devlin Hodges ‘Stepped Up’; ‘I’m Proud Of Him’

While it’s not quite set in stone just yet, the Pittsburgh Steelers are beginning their week of practicing anticipating that Devlin Hodges, the college free agent rookie out of Samford, will be under center for the offense this coming Sunday as they prepare to face the Los Angeles Chargers.

Initially failing to make the 53-man roster, Hodges was signed to the practice squad after the Steelers traded Joshua Dobbs following the first game, an then promoted to the 53-man roster after Ben Roethlisberger was placed on the Reserve/Injured List a week later.
