The veteran wide receiver has caught his last pass in the NFL as A.J Green has announced he is retiring from football after twelve long seasons in pro football. With Green spending ten long seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals and being drafted with the fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft alongside superstar receiver Julio Jones.
With Green finishing his career in Arizona and missing the playoffs, Green was still very quiet last year as he finished with 236 yards receiving and two touchdowns but with a horrible quarterback situation in 2022 it wasn’t all Green’s fault for such a quiet year. With A.J being one of the top receivers in the league in the early 2010’s his career slowly faded as the Bengals struggled to be a winning team and missing the playoffs for multiple years.
A.J had a great career as he finished with 727 receptions, 10,514 receiving yards and 70 receiving touchdowns over 12 seasons. He was one of only four players selected to every Pro Bowl from 2011-2017, and one of 12 to earn such an honor in the Super Bowl era. He retires as a Bengals legend and owner of the third-longest streak of consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons to begin an NFL career.
Congratulations on the spectacular career A.J Green.
