Former Western Michigan wide receiver Corey Davis officially closed the curtain on his football career Wednesday afternoon. In an Instagram post, the New York Jets receiver discussed his decision to retire at the age of 28.
Simply put, Corey Davis was a MAC football legend. In four seasons at Western Michigan, Davis posted totals of 332 receptions, 5,285 receiving yards, and 52 touchdowns. In the 2016 regular season finale against Toledo, Davis surpassed former Nevada wide receiver Trevor Insley to become the FBS all-time receiving yards leader — a designation which he still holds to this day.
