Floyd Hodge (born July 18, 1959) is a former American football wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL). He played for the Atlanta Falcons. He played college football at Utah.[1]
College career
A native of Compton, California, Hodge played two years of football at Los Angeles Valley College, where he was also a long jumper on the track and field team.[2] In 1979, Hodge emerged as an option quarterback at Utah and became a starter midway through the season.[3][4][5] As a senior in 1980, he played wide receiver and caught 44 passes for 829 yards and five touchdowns.[3]
Professional career
Hodge signed a free agent deal with the Atlanta Falcons in 1981.[6] However, he spent the entire 1981 season on the injured reserve list.[3][7] Hodge caught two touchdowns in his debut, a preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings in August 1982.[3][6]
Hodge was cut by the Falcons in August 1985 after the team had acquired receiver Charlie Brown in a trade with the Washington Redskins.[8] "I started counting receivers, and I knew something was up," said Hodge.[8]
