BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Former Samford All-American quarterback Devlin Hodges has signed a deal with the Los Angeles Rams, the organization announced Monday.  
 
Hodges spent his first two NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Samford in 2019. He appeared in eight games as a rookie in 2019, completing 100 of 160 pass attempts for 1,063 yards with five touchdowns. He spent the 2020 season on the Steelers' practice squad.
 
During his Samford career, Hodges threw for an FCS-record 14,584 passing yards. His total broke the old FCS national record of 14,496, set by Steve McNair at Alcorn State from 1991-94.
 
As a senior in 2018, Hodges had six games in which he threw for at least 400 yards. He was a three-time SoCon Offensive Player of the Year and two-time All-American. Hodges, the 2018 Walter Payton Award winner as the top offensive player in all of FCS football, set a school record for single-season passing yards, throwing for 4,283 yards during his senior season.
