The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Joshua Dobbs in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The former Tennessee Vol would garner multiple stints with Pittsburgh before his most recent appearance with the Tennessee Titans. 

Per his agent Mike McCartney, Dobbs is heading back to the AFC north, officially joining the Cleveland Browns. 

With a career line that includes 456 passing yards and two touchdowns, the veteran hasn't seen much regular-season action, but he is the epitome of what teams look for in a backup quarterback. 

Dobbs is known for being one of the smarter players on the team, which makes sense when you consider he has a degree in aerospace engineering.

Yea, he's a literal rocket scientist. One that graduated from the Unversity of Tennessee with a 4.0 GPA. 

His most recent stint with the Titans saw him climb the ladder rather quickly from practice squad quarterback to starter in must-win games down the stretch. 

Before that, he was with the Browns during the pre-season, showing why he has stuck around the league despite his lack of in-game experience.

So while it may sting that he is officially going to hold the clipboard in Cleveland, we can at least be happy for Dobbs as he continues to fulfill his dream.
