Devlin "Duck" Hodges is an American former professional football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) and Canadian Football League (CFL). He began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019 and also had stints with the Los Angeles Rams and the Ottawa Redblacks. Prior to his professional career, he played college football for the Samford Bulldogs.
His initial notability stemmed from his football career, where he earned the nickname "Duck." However, he has recently gained significant public attention for his relationship with country music star Lainey Wilson.
In November 2025, Hodges was prominently featured in entertainment news after attending the CMA Awards with Wilson, who was also the event's host. Multiple media outlets reported on their appearance together, noting their engagement and their coordinated presence at the high-profile awards ceremony. This event has shifted the public focus from his athletic past to his personal life and connection to a major music industry figure.
