Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green announced his retirement Monday.
"I've never been a man of many words, so I'll keep this short," Green began his Instagram post.
"Thank you. Thank you to all who have supported, encouraged, and inspired me throughout my career. Special thank you to the University of Georgia, Cincinnati Bengals, and Arizona Cardinals for the opportunity to pursue my dreams. I've stayed true to the game and it owes me nothing. Be blessed.. Love y'all! The next chapter begins..."
Green played 11 seasons in the NFL after being picked by the Bengals with the fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft.
