During his career as an NFL wide receiver, fans who watched the games on TV were often reminded that Chris Hogan had been a lacrosse player – not a football player – at Penn State. Now Hogan is becoming a lacrosse player again.
Hogan declared ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports for the Premier Lacrosse League draft.
The decision to play lacrosse again may be the result of a perception that at 33 years old he is out of chances in the NFL. Last year, he played for the Jets until a sprained ankle in October. He was released from the wounded reserve in December and has been free since.
After finishing his lacrosse career at Penn State, Hogan played a football season in Monmouth, New Jersey, and was well enough to sign with the 49ers as a non-hired free agent in 2011. He then spent time with the Giants and Dolphins before bursting with the Bills in 2012. He signed with the Patriots in 2016 and won two Super Bowl rings before ending his career with the Panthers in 2019 and the Jets in 2020.
