The Steelers selected Dobbs in the fourth round of the 2017 draft out of Tennessee. A dual-threat quarterback, Dobbs played for four years as a Volunteer. Dobbs finished with 7,138 passing yards through the air for a 53-29 touchdown-interception ratio. Dobbs also compiled 2,160 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns on the ground.

After drafting Dobbs in 2017, they signed him to a four-year, $2.95 million contract. In 2019, Pittsburgh traded Dobbs to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2020 fifth-round pick. A year later, Dobbs returned to Pittsburgh after being claimed off waiver by the Steelers.

Dobbs has seen action in just six NFL games and attempted only 17 career passes (10-of-17). Dobbs last saw action in 2021, completing four of five passes for 80 yards in the Steelers' 2020 season finale against the Browns.
