As a born and raised Tennessee man, of course I'm a Tennessee fan, both college and pro, but the Steelers will definitely be a team I'll look forward to pulling for because of Josh Dobbs and Cam Sutton now. (It's the same way with rooting for the Eagles because of Derek Barnett, Saints for Alvin Kamara, Bengals for Josh Malone, and the Lions for Jalen Reeves-Maybin.)
I found it cool how Josh Dobbs and Cam Sutton were hotel roommates for the Senior Bowl.
Now the old college friends get to work on the same team as professionals too.
I remember back then, they were saying how they took advantage of the other's experience on the other side of the line of scrimmage and picked each other's brains to get some inside tips from each other about the quarterback from the cornerback's perspective and the cornerback from the quarterback's perspective. I thought that was smart how they "masterminded" like that to get ideas straight from the horse's mouth that they may not otherwise get another way.
I'm
absolutely encouraged by the fact Big Ben Roethlisberger sent a tweet of support to Josh that basically said, "Welcome to the family and I'm excited to help you learn and pass along any knowledge to you that I can."
That's the kind of environment that will be healthy for Josh as he puts in the hard work in practice that we know he will and then I think even
he may be surprised once he emerges sharper than expected and ready to quarterback his team's offense to wins.
He is a quick study and will be ready to play whenever they need him, but with time behind a starter, he's going to refine every part of his game that
much more.
Josh Dobbs is definitely the kind of gamer a team wants on
their own side instead of having to compete against him.
Cam Sutton is a well-developed corner back with a highly honed skill set
ready to make an immediate impact as soon as he's needed as well.
So that's 5 Vols for Life on the current Steeler roster.
Back in 1974, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted a player in the 4th round who went on to become...
a member of the Hall of Fame!
Right now, this very moment on the NFL Network Live Draft, they're interviewing the Steelers'
head Coach Mike Tomlin to ask him about the players they added in this draft class.
