Yesterday, Jets' Corey Davis shockingly announced that he is officially "stepping away" from football. The veteran WR was drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Tennesse Titans in 2017.
In just six seasons in the NFL, the 28 year old played in 78 games. In those 78 games, he has racked up 3879 receiving yards, totaling for 17 touchdowns.
For some time now l've been contemplating stepping away from the sport of football. This decision has not been easy. Although I am a deep person, I am a man of few words. I've been searching my heart for what to do and I feel that stepping away from the game is the best path for me at this time. I have more blessings than I could have ever imagined - I have an amazing family, a beautiful wife and two healthy children that I look forward to spending more time with. I am truly grateful for all the opportunities I have had and will continue to have on my journey. Thank you to my family and friends and the Jets organization for supporting me through this process.

Davis did not give an exact reason as to why he is "stepping away" from football, nor did he use the word "retirement". However, many do expect this to be the equivalent to retirement for Davis.
