Joshua Dobbs Admits To Having ‘Tough Year’ After Steelers Traded Him In 2019

Joshua Dobbs has certainly been through the ringer a time or two. As a second-year player in 2018, while trying to hold on to the number three position, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Mason Rudolph and essentially dubbed him their next potential franchise quarterback.

That thrust him into the fight of his professional life, wherein he had to beat out Landry Jones to be the backup that year, with Rudolph, still learning, as the number three. He came out of that competition, but the Steelers would trade him a year later when the Jacksonville Jaguars offered them a fifth-round pick for him following Nick Foles’ injury, and the team intrigued by rookie Devlin Hodges.
