Former 49ers WR Chris Conley announces retirement, plans to return to Georgia to pursue new career | CBS Sports

NFL free agent wide receiver Chris Conley, who played the last two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, announced his retirement Saturday after 10 seasons, choosing film school over a continued football career. The former third-round pick out of Georgia finished his NFL career with 221 receptions, 2,926 career receiving yards and 15 touchdowns.

According to his agent during an interview with NFL Network, Conley will re-enroll at Georgia and study film. An avid Star Wars fan, Conley will purse filmmaking and already has worked on one intergalactic project previously.

In an announcement on his personal Instagram account, Conley said, “when I was a kid I wrote down a set of goals. On that list was ‘Play 10 years in the NFL.’ Now that this goal has been accomplished, it’s time to set sights on something new.”

Previously, at the end of his collegiate career, Conley stressed the importance of education in a letter to Bulldogs fans.

“I would like to set an example that we as people should have a goal to unite families, neighborhoods, and cities for the well-being of our state and then our country,” Conley wrote. “Call me an idealist but I believe that all it takes for change to take root is a willing participant and the faith that it will happen. That same willingness and faith is what allowed a 2-3 star recruit to defy the odds and contribute at the greatest school in the country.

“I’m gonna go with two tight ends. I’m gonna go, George Kittle, I’m gonna go with Travis Kelce, because of personality,” said Miz during the broadcast, “A Gladiator has to have a great personality, and got to be out there, not only do that be physically dominating but they got to be someone, either you’re root for, or you’re gonna boo kind of like a WWE superstar.”

Kansas City Chiefs: A Perfect Fit?

The Kansas City Chiefs, known for their high-octane offense, have long been searching for a consistent ground game to complement their aerial assault led by Patrick Mahomes. Integrating a player of Chubb’s caliber could elevate the Chiefs to an even more formidable force. His ability to control the tempo and wear down defenses would provide a new dimension to their already potent attack. The union of Chubb’s power running with the Chiefs’ dynamic passing game could create a near-unbeatable offensive juggernaut.
