2022 Prospectus

Not sure what to say about the defensive line position except to think it’s somewhat of a hybrid position for the Broncos. For what it is worth, he has himself listed as DE on his Twitter profile. He did appear in games as a freshman for the Huskies as a middle linebacker. He made the switch to defensive end and played two games. Hogans looks to be a solid rotation guy with probable appearances on special teams and some roles on the line.

Is he on Twitter?

Yep! He’s a Stranger Things fan (I just finished the second episode of the fourth season, I need to get on it).

Completely made up fact

Do you remember pogs? Hogans does. He’s got a pretty decent-sized collection. His favorite slammer has a picture of a hammer on it’s pretty cool!
