Genus and Bogan Find NFL Homes

It appears that wide receiver Dontavia Bogan will be starting his NFL career on the West Coast.

Now that the NFL has decided to open up for business, the season can begin and the undrafted players can finally sign with teams. Former USF Bulls are already busy and two former standouts from last season have already found new places to call home.

Center Sampson Genus has reportedly signed with the Green Bay Packers. Genus, the 6-1 315-pound center was a team captain, anchor of the line last year, and was named 2nd team All Big East. While the Packers have two centers ahead of him, he will help add nice depth to the position and should be able to prove himself in training camp.

The other Bull is wide receiver Dontavia Bogan who has reportedly signed a deal with the San Francisco 49er's. Bogan, the 6-1 188-pound stand out receiver, was the best vertical threat the Bulls had last season. He finished the season with 47 receptions for 685 yards and 6 touchdowns, despite shaking quarterback play and missing one game due to an ankle injury. Bogan is also a dynamic return man and will turn heads the moment he gets onto the field (imagine him lining up across from Michael Crabtree, awesome).

Congrats from the Bull Rush family to Genus and Bogan for finally getting onto an NFL team (the wait and lockout was annoying) and best of luck to the drafted players signing soon and the rest of the undrafted players.

  1. Great news for the former bulls. Bogan will be great on that field.
