Veteran NFL receiver Chris Hogan it’s getting tweeted about by Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, but not because he just signed with a new team. In a twist of news that we did not anticipate, Hogan applied for a draft for the Premier Lacrosse League in March. Hogan played lacrosse mainly in college, as you probably know if you watched any broadcast of a game he played during his heyday with the Patriots. Hogan was an incredible story, as he only played a season of college football in Monmouth after transferring from Penn State, where he played lacrosse.
He clung to the Bills after a few years of practicing the team’s shuffling and became a well-known name during his run for New England in 2016-18. During these three years, he was frequently Tom Bradythe biggest deep threat, and he was a big part of two Super Bowl winning teams. He signed with the Panthers in 2019, but injuries limited him to eight receptions in seven games. He was with the Jets in the first five games of the disastrous 2020 season, catching 14 balls in 118 yards before landing on the injured reserve and then being cut. Now he is trying to get back to his first sport at age 33. It is not clear whether he will be called up or not, but all of us here at PFR wish him the best.

- THE thieves recently had two retired players, longtime center Maurkice Pouncey and tight end Vance McDonald.
