From Lacrosse to Football: Penn State and Monmouth
Hogan's path to the NFL is unusual among pro football players. He played lacrosse at Penn State from 2007 to 2009, starting all 13 games as a freshman and earning first-team All-ECAC honors, but never played college football there. With a year of NCAA eligibility remaining, he transferred to Monmouth University in 2010 and played his only season of college football, using his athleticism from lacrosse to convert to wide receiver. He went undrafted in the 2011 NFL Draft.
NFL Career
After going undrafted, Hogan bounced through practice squads with the San Francisco 49ers, New York Giants, and Miami Dolphins before the Buffalo Bills signed him to their practice squad in November 2012 and promoted him to the active roster that December. He spent four seasons at wide receiver in Buffalo, catching his first career touchdown in 2014.
In March 2016, the Patriots signed Hogan to a three-year, $12 million offer sheet with $7.5 million guaranteed, front-loaded so Buffalo could not match it. Over three seasons in New England he became a reliable postseason target: he set a Patriots playoff record with 180 receiving yards in the 2016 AFC Championship Game, caught 128 yards and a touchdown in Super Bowl LII, and made a key third-down reception in the 2018 AFC Championship Game that helped set up the Patriots' win. He was on the roster for both of the Patriots' Super Bowl wins during his tenure, Super Bowl LI (2016 season, over the Atlanta Falcons) and Super Bowl LIII (2018 season, over the Los Angeles Rams).
Hogan left New England after the 2018 season and closed out his career with brief stints at the Carolina Panthers (2019, cut short by knee surgery), New York Jets (2020, ended by a high ankle sprain), and New Orleans Saints (2021). He officially retired from the NFL on October 23, 2021, after 105 career games, 220 receptions, 2,836 receiving yards, and 19 receiving touchdowns.
Personal Life and Since Football
Hogan is married to Dr. Ashley Boccio, a podiatrist he met while both attended Penn State; the couple has four children. After retiring from the NFL, he briefly returned to his original sport, playing professional lacrosse for the Cannons and Whipsnakes in the Premier Lacrosse League in 2021. His current business activities and any coaching or media work beyond that are not well documented publicly.
