Chris Conley set a goal of playing 10 seasons in the NFL.
He started that journey as a third-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2015.
A decade later, the goal was achieved. And on Saturday, Conley posted on Instagram to announce his retirement from the NFL.
The Chiefs took Conley 76th overall in 2015 out of Georgia.
He spent his first four seasons with the Chiefs, catching 104 passes for 1,238 yards and six TDs. It was the most receptions he had with any team in his NFL career.
Conley went on to spend two seasons in Jacksonville, a season-and-a-half in Houston, half a season in Tennessee and his final two years in San Francisco.
His total NFL stats worked out to 226 catches for 2,998 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Conley was a reliable 6-foot-3 target who often worked out of the slot despite being a bigger wideout.
He actually plans to return to the University of Georgia to go to the film school there, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Conley had the kind of NFL career that not many dream of but many would take.
He hung around, proving himself of value to a handful of different teams. He didn't quite fit into the Chiefs' Super Bowl era, but he was there as the groundwork was being laid.
Now, Conley heads off into the sunset after a decade at the highest level of his life-long sport.
