DEVLIN HODGES

I've always been this kind of calm, cool and collected.

For the most part I'd say the Steelers called me Duck more than Devlin.

Obviously there is a professional side and you have to be locked in, but I need to make sure that I'm enjoying the game that I love so much and having fun.

The 2009 World Championship Duck Calling Contest, I won.

Being a Catholic in any way is great, but I feel particularly blessed to have served at the altar, where the work of Christ through the priest can be seen up close.

The biggest thing for me is just get the win.

I'm a laid-back guy.

I have always been a guy who is aggressive in throwing the ball.

Anytime the defense scores first - anytime the defense scores when I'm on the bench - that's big time. That takes a little pressure off.

It's something that I've always had as a kid. I've always believed in myself, no matter what other people say.

It's honestly a dream come true to be on a team and a chance to start in a game, it's wild.

The nerves are still there. I might just do a better job at hiding them.

When it comes to football, I always prepare like I'm going to be the guy.

My job is to win the game each and every week and that's what I want to do, and that's all I'm worried about.

I just have a lot of belief in myself.

It's as simple as taking care of the ball and doing whatever it takes to win.

This is football. This is my job. At the same time there's a good balance you can have with having fun and getting prepared and ready for the game.

Sometimes you make plays, sometimes you don't.

The only traffic I had to deal with in Alabama was a tractor.

I started hunting at 5 years old.

I definitely think I'm better just for the simple fact that I feel like each and every day I can get better.

No matter how you lose, you hate losing.

I'm good at extending plays and finding throwing lanes.

I played with the Pittsburgh Steelers this year, one of the most historic franchises in the NFL, and it is so cool and amazing.

It's awesome to have the fans come up and say, 'Hey, Duck, what's up?' When people call me Devlin, it catches me by surprise.
