Jets WR Corey Davis announces NFL retirement after 6 seasons

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis retired Wednesday after six seasons in the NFL.

He announced his decision with an Instagram post and noted he'd thought about stepping away from football "for some time."

Davis, 28, played the past two seasons with the New York Jets. He was drafted No. 5 overall out of Western Michigan in 2017 by the Tennessee Titans, with whom he spent the first four years of his career. Davis had 273 receptions for 3,879 yards and 17 touchdowns in 78 career games.

"This decision has not been easy," he wrote.
