I’m a Former NFL Draft Pick Who Made $3 Million – I’m Joining The Rock’s UFL One Year After Being Unemployed

Former NFL quarterback Kevin Hogan is getting another chance to shine on the football field.

The former Stanford standout will play for the San Antonio Brahmas of the UFL, according to reports.

Hogan, 31, is joining the Brahmas after a wrist injury sidelined the team’s starting quarterback, Chase Garbers, for the rest of the season, according to UFL reporter James Larsen.

However, backup QB Quinten Dormady is expected to start for San Antonio in their Week 4 matchup with the Michigan Panthers, according to Larsen.

Hogan began his professional career when the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him in the fifth round of the 2016 draft.

He never got the chance to play for the Chiefs.

Kansas City released the Virginia native before the start of the 2016 NFL season.

The quarterback then signed with the Cleveland Browns.

Hogan made eight appearances, including one start, for the Browns over the next two seasons.

He had to wait to get on the field again until 2021, when he showed up for some snaps while with the Tennessee Titans.

Overall, he threw for 621 yards, four touchdowns and seven interceptions on 101 attempts in those nine games — while earning $2.69 million.

Hogan’s most recent involvement in the NFL came in December 2022, when he returned to Tennessee to join the Titans’ practice squad before they were released a month later.

The UFL has just begun its inaugural season, following the merger of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s XFL league with the USFL.

The campaign kicked off on March 30 with a matchup between the 2023 XFL champion Arlington Renegades and the 2023 USFL champion Birmingham Stallions.

The Stallions ended up winning 27-14.

The NFL legend and Colorado Buffaloes coach appeared at the game.

And he praised the UFL for what the league has been trying to achieve.

“[The] Rock and Danny [Garcia] they’re doing a wonderful job giving people hope (and) keeping dreams alive,” Sanders said.

“[When] I came into this field, it was electric.”

“I love it. It’s wonderful.”

The former Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys star added: “Fans are seeing up close how things really are and I love that.

Eight teams compete in the UFL during the 2024 season, divided into the USFL and XFL conferences.

Each team will play 10 games during the regular season.

Meanwhile, the playoffs – which begin on June 8 – will consist of four teams.
