ATLANTA _ Chris Hogan couldn't fathom playing in one Super Bowl let alone three straight. It wasn't so long ago that he was just trying to make a team.
But Hogan, 30, has been a valuable and productive receiver for the Patriots during this three-year run that he hopes culminates Sunday with a second Super Bowl championship against the Rams.
"It's tough to put that in perspective, playing in back-to-back-to-back Super Bowls," Hogan said. "I had a couple of seconds last week to think about where I've gone and where I've been. It's hard work, man. I put in a lot of hours and a lot of dedication to get to where I am today. I've had a lot of opportunities and I've been fortunate enough to have those opportunities and I've tried to make the most of them."
