Wyckoff's Chris Hogan Wins 2nd Super Bowl With Patriots

WYCKOFF, NJ — Township native Chris Hogan has won his second Super Bowl with the New England Patriots.

Hogan was targeted six times by quarterback Tom Brady, but he did not have a catch in Super Bowl LIII, his third straight with the New England Patriots.

Hogan's story is one of perseverance.

Hogan is a Ramapo High School alumnus who played three years of lacrosse at Penn State University. He graduated in 2010 and immediately enrolled at Mommouth University, playing one year of football there.

He was cut four times by NFL teams before the Buffalo Bills picked him up in 2012.

"Getting cut four separate times really never stopped me," Hogan told Newsday.com.

Hogan was signed by the Patriots as a restricted free agent from the Buffalo Bills in March 2016 and has contributed on the field ever since.

As Super Bowl week kicked off, Hogan thanked his wife, Ashley, for her support and work she does to help him and their family.

"She amazes me every day with what she is able to accomplish, probably why I work so hard, so I can keep up with her," Hogan said in an Instagram post. "I would not be where I am today without her, and I am so thankful she has stuck by my side through everything."
