Wide receiver A.J. Green has officially announced his retirement from the NFL. After nine seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, followed by two more with the Arizona Cardinals, Green will retire with over 10,000 yards under his belt.
PFF’s Ari Meirov reported the news via Twitter on Monday afternoon.
Green was drafted with the fourth overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. He played in Cincinnati from 2011-2020, missing one full season due to an injury. He joined the Cardinals for the 2021 and 2022 season.
He has seven Pro Bowl appearances, two Second Team All-Pro Selections. Green’s best season came in 2013, in which he racked up 98 catches for 1,426 yards and 11 touchdowns. In his final season, he played in 15 games, grabbing 24 receptions for 236 yards and two scores.
