Quarterback Josh Dobbs was drafted by the team in 2017, and has hopped around the league since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"5OP6LJ6OUVHORANMCKX5NXVFXY\">Either way, the Steelers have three obvious connections in the Patriots organization and on the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"CQSORXZAI5ASXBEA2MINXQCJSQ\">As for the Seahawks, wide receiver Cody White spent multiple years on the Steelers\u2019 roster fringe and on their practice squad as a special teamer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"7XBDYA3PEVGRNKIMLVICBCEWGY\">He headed to Seattle for a new lease on life two seasons ago, and has stuck around in the Emerald City. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"LVCZCBE3L5C4VOIXUHBMFJ4NZ4\">White made two catches for 44 yards, including a toe-tapping 28-yard catch on third-and-long to keep the game-tying drive going in regulation in 2024. That catch came directly after White blocked a Rams punt, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"447X456I2BH33EK5HHXG75CWLA\">White is currently battling an injury, but he made a Week 1 53-man roster for the first time in his career this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For another year, a former Pittsburgh Steelers player or coach is guaranteed to win a Super Bowl title.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74,36307],"class_list":["post-108661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-super-bowl-lx"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
