Prairie View WR KhaDarel Hodge Signs 1-Year Deal with Falcons
Former Prairie View A&M wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge signed a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons.
Friday's Hodge signing was necessary because the team lost wide receivers Russell Gage in free agency, and Calvin Ridley serving a suspension for gambling on NFL games.
