After he was selected in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, former Tennessee QB Joshua Dobbs has been living it up in Pittsburgh.
The newest Steeler, along with fellow rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster, took in a Pittsburgh Penguins game on Monday night, as the Pens earned a 5-3 victory.
Smith-Schuster and Dobbs posted a picture at the game, showing them having a good time after the Penguins clinched the victory:

Dobbs in a Penguins jersey didn’t exactly go over well with the Volunteer faithful, as Pittsburgh is facing the Nashville Predators for the Stanley Cup right now. Dobbs took some heat on Twitter for his jersey choice:
I hope the Penguins are just as successful as your Vols were last season. #GoPreds #StanleyCupFinals

That didn’t stop Dobbs from embracing his new city, though. On Tuesday, he took in a Pirates game, going down on the field before batting practice to snag a picture with the Pittsburgh skyline in the background:
Hot dogs, peanuts, and ⚾️!

Dobbs is clearly making a great first impression with Steelers fans, but he’ll need to perform on the field this fall as Ben Roethlisberger’s backup in order to stay in the city’s good graces.
Still, it’s nice to see the ex-Vol enjoying himself before his professional career officially begins.
