Former Steelers QB Makes Bold Tom Brady Prediction
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase still remembers, and loves to hear, the name Devlin ‘Duck’ Hodges. And while the former starting quarterback isn’t in the NFL anymore, he’s making some bold predictions about who could be coming back – and it’s not himself.
With the Miami Dolphins losing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills, Hodges believes they’ll make a phone call to a familiar foe. And while the legend he’s predicting has plenty going on, there are always rumbles of his return to football, and with a connection to Miami, maybe it’s the perfect fit.
“Tom Brady to the Miami Dolphins… heard it here first,” Hodges wrote on X. “Watch.”

Watch — Devlin Hodges (@DevlinHodges10) September 13, 2024
Brady was once believed to be an option for the Dolphins, who just signed Tagovailoa to a long-term extension worth $212 million over the next four years. With him sidelined with another scary concussion situation, there are going to be questions about his return.
If he chooses not to play until fully healed, or decides it’ll be longer than that, maybe the Dolphins start calling around. And maybe Hodges has predicted who will come lead a group with two star wide receivers, an offensive-minded head coach and a stout running game in 2024.
Hodges spent one year in Pittsburgh in 2019, stepping in for an injured Mason Rudolph and running with the opportunity. He went 3-3 as a starter, throwing for 1,063 yards and five touchdowns, with eight interceptions. The Steelers came one game away from the playoffs that season despite losing Ben Roethlisberger and Rudolph to injuries.
Now, Hodges remains in the spotlight with his social media accounts, and alongside his country music girlfriend Laney Wilson. In the eyes of Steelers Nation, Hodges is still a fan favorite, and every once in awhile, someone has a bold prediction about him, much like his about Brady.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts
Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.
The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.
Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.
Why do bees swarm?
Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.
Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.
With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
On Sept. 17, multi-platinum country music star Luke Bryan will bring his Farm Tour to 1846 Farms near Latrobe.
Westmoreland County is no stranger to large outdoor concerts. Some may remember the Rolling Rock Town Fair in the early 2000s, while others may recall Luke Bryan’s stop at a farm in South Huntingdon Township just two years ago. Now the country music superstar is returning to the area.
The Unity Township farm’s general manager, Aleisha Stas, gave KDKA a tour of the family farm, which dates back to before the Civil War. She says Bryan’s team first reached out after finding the farm on social media, but she says at first, she and her family thought it was too good to be true.
“This was around April Fools, so we thought it was an April Fools prank,” Stas said. “My whole family, we were like, there’s no way this is about to happen. But this has been incredible.”
Stas says Bryan’s team is handling everything logistically from parking and bathrooms to deciding exactly where the concert will be staged.
“If we have it on this side of the property, we can hold 12,000 people,” Stas said. “And if we have it on (the other side) of the property, it can be up to 20,000. But we have not determined that yet.”
Many of those decisions will be made as September gets closer. In the meantime, however, the farm is holding off on planting in certain fields until the final concert location is selected.
And while hosting thousands of people may sound a little intimidating, Stas says her family is excited to welcome fans to the farm for what they hope will be a memorable night.
“Obviously, we’ve never had this many people here before, so it will be a new thing for all of us, but we are not worried,” said Stas. “Luke Bryan’s team are experts with this, and I think it will go great.”
Tickets for this concert are currently on sale, and they will run you about $77 per person, plus tax for general admission.
