The Steelers announced their decision to start Devlin “Duck” Hodges this week against the Cleveland Browns and most, if not all, of Steelers Nation could not be happier. The decision to start Hodges makes complete sense. He brings a spark to an offense that lacked one under Mason Rudolph.
On Hodges’s first drive against the Bengals, he hit James Washington in stride for a 79-yard touchdown. The energy he brought was palpable.
Unlike Rudolph, Hodges brings a confidence and poise to the huddle. The moment doesn’t appear too big for him and he has a better football sense than Rudolph.
