Christopher James Hogan (born October 24, 1987) is an American football wide receiver for the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Monmouth. Prior to his football career, he played college lacrosse at Penn State.
Joining the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2011, Hogan did not appear in a regular season game until 2012 when he became a member of the Buffalo Bills. Prior to his tenure with the Bills, he was signed by the San Francisco 49ers, New York Giants, and Miami Dolphins, but was released by each team before the regular season. After four seasons with the Bills, Hogan signed with the Patriots and helped the team win Super Bowl LI.
During his tenure with the Dolphins, Hogan was featured prominently on the 2012 season of HBO's Hard Knocks after Reggie Bush nicknamed him "7-Eleven" because he was "always open".
Hogan grew up in Wyckoff, New Jersey and played both football and lacrosse at Ramapo High School. He was a first-team All-New Jersey performer as a junior and senior in lacrosse and an all-state first teamer as a senior in football.
Hogan had a tough decision to make coming out of high school to play football or lacrosse and chose to attend Penn State to help build a rising lacrosse program. He played college lacrosse for three seasons at Penn State, graduating in 2010 with one year of college sports eligibility remaining.
