Former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver A.J. Green has retired from the NFL after 12 seasons.
The Cincinnati Bengals selected Green with the fourth overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft. He spent 10 seasons with Cincinnati before playing his final two years with the Arizona Cardinals.
Green made the Pro Bowl in each of his first seven years in the NFL. Green is the only player, other than Randy Moss, to record over 1,000 receiving yards in each of his five seasons.
He finishes his NFL career with 10,514 receiving yards and 70 touchdowns. The former Georgia star has a strong argument to make the prestigious Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Green came to Georgia in 2008 as an athletic and lanky superstar out of Summerville, South Carolina, who excelled in football and basketball. He arrived in Athens as a five-star recruit and as the No. 7 player in the nation.
His freshman season at Georgia was outstanding, but the Bulldogs failed to live up to preseason expectations. Green finished his college career with 2,619 receiving yards, third all-time in Georgia history. He absolutely dominated several games in college (Arizona State 2009, Colorado 2010, and Auburn 2010).
