This now marks the second former Georgia Bulldog to retire from the NFL in the past two weeks, as former wide receiver Chris Conley has called it a career. Conley announced his retirement on social media Saturday morning after 10 seasons in the NFL playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers.
Conley is planning to return to Georgia and study film, attending film school, his agent Jonathon Perzley told NFL Network on Saturday.
What a career for @ConmanXP

After being selected by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Conley played 132 games in his career and totaled 65 starts. Conley actually caught the first-ever touchdown pass of NFL great Patrick Mahomes. That was one of 15 touchdowns that Conley caught in his career, along with 2,998 receiving yards.
Conley was great on special teams, but his best season came in 2019, his first season in Jacksonville, where he compiled 47 catches for 775 receiving yards, which were both career highs for the former Bulldog. Conley finished his career with two seasons in San Francisco, where he served as a backup wide receiver.
Conley spent four seasons at Georgia, where he was a solid and dependable wide receiver for the Bulldogs. His best season came in his final season, where Conley had 36 receptions for 657 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 18.3 yards per catch.
Conley finished his career at Georgia with 1,938 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns, averaging 39.6 yards per game.
While Conley may be studying film at Georgia, don't be surprised if he ends up around the football team again, showing the young wideouts how it is done on he field. Best of luck to Conley in the future, and here is to maybe seeing his name on the big screen one day.
