It’s not every day that you’ll read an Arrowhead Pride story about the retirement of a Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver who was targeted just five times over a five-year career.
But this is one of those days.
Through a social media post on Wednesday, Kansas City wideout Gehrig Dieter announced he is walking away from the game.
I’ve decided to retire from football! Thank you for everything KC. Been a crazy journey! pic.twitter.com/DUSDRlh53y

Signed out of Alabama as an undrafted free agent in 2017, Dieter spent his entire career in Kansas City — almost all of it on the team’s practice squad.
