Okay, so today I kinda went down a weird rabbit hole, right? It all started with me just checking sports scores, you know, like you do. And I see this dude, Josh Dobbs, playing quarterback. And for some reason, my brain just kinda stutters and I’m like, “Wait, does that guy have cancer?” No clue why that popped into my head.

So, first thing I did? Google. Obviously. Typed in “does josh dobbs have cancer”. Pretty straightforward. The results were… well, mixed. Some were just about his football stats, others were about different athletes with cancer. Nothing concrete about Dobbs himself.
Then I thought, okay, maybe it’s a rumour. So, I started digging a bit deeper. Checked some of the sports news sites, like ESPN and stuff. Searched for his name along with terms like “health,” “illness,” “sick.” Still nothing. Just football, football, football.
I even ventured onto some of the fan forums. You know the kind – full of speculation and random opinions. Searched for his name in the forum threads. Mostly just people arguing about his performance on the field. But I did find one thread where someone mentioned something vague about him being an inspiration because of “overcoming challenges.” That’s it. Super vague.
So, next step, I figured I’d try to find some official statements. Checked the official NFL website, the team’s website (whatever team he’s on now), even looked for his agent’s contact info to see if they had released anything. Nada. Nothing related to cancer or any serious illness.
Honestly, at this point, I was getting nowhere.
I started to think maybe I was completely making this up. Like, maybe I had dreamt it or something. Then, I remembered an interview I saw a while back where he talked about being an aerospace engineer. I figured, hey, maybe he’s spoken about health stuff in a non-sports context. So I tried searching for interviews about his engineering career. Still no luck on the cancer front.
- Googled “Josh Dobbs aerospace engineer interview”
- Scanned through the interviews for keywords related to health, challenges, etc.
After a solid hour of digging, I came to the conclusion that there’s absolutely no evidence to suggest Josh Dobbs has cancer. It was probably just a random thought that popped into my head. Brains are weird, man.
So, the final verdict? False alarm. Josh Dobbs, as far as I can tell from my internet sleuthing, does not have cancer. He’s just out there slinging footballs and being an engineer. Maybe I should stick to checking scores and leave the medical diagnoses to the professionals.

Side note: I’m starting to wonder if Google is tracking my random thoughts now. It’s getting a little too accurate.
