Josh Dobbs

Josh Dobbs, the former Tennessee star, impressed Browns coach Kevin Stefanski with his arm and legs in Sunday's preseason game against the Eagles.

He gave the guys opportunities to make some plays. “Got us in the right plays like he does. He added a 36-yard run, evading tacklers in the backfield and tiptoeing down the sideline.

Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017 out of Tennessee, the versatile Dobbs hasn't seen this much preseason action since his rookie year.

Don't look now, but former Pittsburgh Steelers fourth-round pick Josh Dobbs might well be the backup quarterback for the Cleveland Browns this season.

Joshua Dobbs used to be a preseason superstar for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fourth quarter. For those who would actually make it into the games that.

The team finally moved on from him again, this offseason, however, following the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger. He spent the 2021 season on the Reserve/Injured List, however, with Dwayne Haskins as the new number three. The prevailing opinion that training camp was that he would be the odd man out, the team having drafted Mason Rudolph at the time, but he defied the assumed odds.

Much has been said about Jacoby Brissett being the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback while Deshaun Watson is out. There's nothing wrong with.

The above Twitter post reads, “It’s hard to watch the #Browns this preseason and not rave about Josh Dobbs. His mobility has been on full display this camp and definitely deserves a spot on this 53.” Watson, Brissett, and Dobbs should be a substantial depth chart for the Browns in 2022. His mobility has been on full display this camp and definitely deserves a spot on this 53 Before the Browns, Dobbs also played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Pittsburgh Steelers in two stints. But perhaps the Browns should take a flyer on Josh Dobbs during the regular season.

After a tumultuous off-season bled into the second week of the pre-season, it was nice for the Cleveland Browns to finally get onto the field without the ...

Dobbs has carved out his role for this year, and if he continues to excel as the Browns move into the regular season, he could find himself in Cleveland for years to come. He has shown an understanding and command of the offense, and, similarly to Watson, is a threat in the RPO game. Dobbs also pulled off a highlight play in the first quarter, breaking out of a sack before tight-roping the sideline and gaining 30+ yards before breaking into the endzone on another run later in the drive. Week two is most commonly the week of the preseason where the fewest amount of starters play, so with Watson and Jacoby Brissett on the sidelines, Dobbs got a full half to earn the QB2 role behind Brissett. With limited playing time in his NFL career, the former University of Tennessee standout has been in the spotlight for the first time in his pro career this preseason, and he has made the most of his opportunity. Overall, Dobbs was the most impactful player for the Browns in their win over Jacksonville, impressing many with his ability to quickly adjust and pick up a new offense.
