The “Duck” has landed in Los Angeles.

According to Devlin Hodges’ Twitter account, the former Steelers backup quarterback has signed with the L.A. Rams.

It has not been made official by the Rams and is probably a Reserve/Future contract, similar to the one Dwayne Haskins signed with Pittsburgh late last week.

Hodges was #4 on the Steelers depth chart in 2020 with Ben Roethlisberger, Mason Rudolph and Josh Dobbs all in front of him.

Hodges was one of a handful of players who have not been signed to a reserve/future deal.

Hodges took to social media on Tuesday to thank the team and the city.

“Pittsburgh! Thankful for the opportunity and the ability to live out my dream. Nothing but love! QUACK!.”

After Starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and backup Mason Rudolph went out with injuries, Hodges got the opportunity to play in eight games in 2019, going 3-3.

He had 1,063 yards with five touchdowns and eight interceptions.

With Roethlisberger, Rudolph and Josh Dobbs on the team, Hodges was cut in 2019, but after the first week of the season was signed to the practice squad after the Steelers traded Dobbs to Jacksonville.

He was moved to the 53-man after Roethlisberger went out with a season-ending elbow injury.
