Career
Hogeboom reached the spotlight playing for the Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, Phoenix Cardinals, and Washington Redskins after playing college football at the Central Michigan University and high school football at Northview High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He played for ten seasons (1980–1989) and passed for 9,346 yards, 49 touchdowns, and 60 interceptions in his career, along with 164 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. He also had career highs in 1989 with the Phoenix Cardinals with 2,591 yards passing, 14 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions. His only appearance in the postseason was in the Cowboys' 1982 NFC title game against the Washington Redskins. Filling in for the injured Danny White, he threw for 162 yards and two touchdowns, with two interceptions, in Dallas's 31-17 loss. In 1987, as a member of the Indianapolis Colts, Hogeboom was one of the few regular players in the NFL who did not participate in that year's player strike. He took the field along with replacement players, who were recruited to continue the league's schedule during the strike. The Colts' victories in those games were crucial in securing their first playoff berth in ten years.
