Photos: A.J. Green through the years

Let’s take a look back at the top photos from A.J. Green’s college and NFL career

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).

The Cardinals have re-signed wide receiver A.J. Green, who caught 54 passes for 848 yards and three touchdowns last season for Arizona. Green and the Cardinals will look to have a more successful run in the playoffs this year.

Green signed a one-year deal. It is likely similar to last year’s one-year pact, but no contract details are available at this time.

Last offseason, the Arizona Cardinals signed A.J. Green to a one-year contract with $6 million guaranteed. Green was able to earn up to $8.5 million if he achieved all of his incentives.

The Cincinnati Bengals drafted Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver A.J. Green with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Green 10,278 career receiving yards and 68 career receiving touchdowns. A.J. Green began his NFL career with five consecutive seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards. In 2019, Green missed the entire year with an ankle injury.

A.J. Green is a seven-time Pro Bowl player and has gas left in the tank. The Arizona Cardinals did not get to pair A.J. Green with DeAndre Hopkins as much as they would have liked last year.

Green will continue to receive a lot of single coverage and could quickly become one of Kyler Murray’s favorite targets. The Cardinals lost former slot wide receiver Christian Kirk to the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency. Arizona will look to second-year receiver Rondale Moore to fill in Kirk’s r

Green signed the deal after he failed to reach to a contract extension with the Bengals before the July deadline.

Hopefully former LSU Tigers standout Joe Burrow will have success with A.J. Green, who has never won a playoff game in his NFL career. It’s not Green’s fault, but that could be motivation behind him thinking twice before signing a long-term extension with Cincinnati.

Here’s what No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow said about A.J. Green at the NFL Combine:
