Jaguars' 775-yard receiver retires from NFL for wild reason

3 hours ago 1

Chris Conley's best NFL season came with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

But six years after that, Conley is hanging up his cleats.

He once had 47 catches for 775 yards and five touchdowns in 2019 for the Jags. Those were all career-high single-season numbers.

Conley then spent the following season with Jacksonville, as well, reeling in another 40 passes for 471 yards and two scores.

He accumulated more receiving yards with the Jaguars (1,246) than he did with any other team.

Conley started his career with the Chiefs and also played with the 49ers, Texans and Titans.

He's now heading back to the University of Georgia to go to film school in hopes of becoming a film maker, writes NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Conley wrote on Instagram with his retirement announcement that he had hoped to play 10 NFL seasons, and that's exactly what he did.

He was once a third-round pick (76th overall) by the Chiefs in 2015.

In his entire NFL career, Conley finished with 226 catches for 2,998 yards and 15 TDs.

Now, it's on to film school. It's the place where Conley feels he is meant to be.
