John Rhys Plumlee Says He Will Play Quarterback With Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed former Ole Miss and UCF QB John Rhys Plumlee to a team-record contract as an undrafted free agent, and while that should’ve been a signal he would suit up at the game’s most important position, Plumlee confirmed he would play quarterback. In an interview with Brian Batko on his Chipped Ham and Football podcast, Plumlee said it’s been “communicated” to him that he’s going to be a quarterback in Pittsburgh.

“It’s been communicated to me that I will be playing quarterback in Pittsburgh. And so I’m super excited about that, it’s always been what I’ve wanted to do, and super excited that I have the opportunity to do that.
