<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hodges, who earned the nickname &#8220;Duck&#8221; for his duck-calling skills, played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Los Angeles Rams before retiring from professional football in 2022. He has since transitioned into a career as a real estate agent in Tennessee.</p>
