Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Josh Dobbs was the sixth UT player taken in the NFL Draft and the second drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers as he was taken in the 4th round, #135 overall. He joins Cam Sutton as a Steelers draft pick from UT. He also is the 5th VFL on the Steelers team which also has WR Justin Hunter, OG Ramon Foster and DT Daniel McCullers. Here’s more on Dobbs including a very interesting note on being drafted #135 overall.

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.

Last time one NFL team drafted two U. of Tennessee players was 2007 when the Saints picked Robert Meachem and Marvin Mitchell. Now Steelers.
