FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — He grew up idolizing Wayne Chrebet, dreaming that one day he, too, might be catching passes for the Jets.

That dream has come true, albeit much later than he might have imagined. Yet it’s no less special for Chris Hogan. Even at age 31.

“[The Jets are] a team I’ve watched growing up, a big fan of the history here,” said Hogan, who was born in Wyckoff, New Jersey, and played football and lacrosse at nearby Ramapo High School.
