He joined Cam Sutton as the second Vols player selected by the Steelers. He’s also the highest drafted quarterback out of Tennessee since Peyton Manning in 1998.

#Vols QB Joshua Dobbs on how many times Butch Jones said “Antonio Brown” past four years: "More times than the number of days in that time."

Mike Tomlin was the lone head coach at Tennessee's Pro Day. He saw Josh Dobbs put on a show & got 1st hand look at Sutton. Great situation.
