Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson — an undrafted prospect that ended up accumulating nearly 2,500 receiving yards at the NFL level — announced his retirement on the evening of May 10.

“Growing up, I can say my journey was one of a kind, both on and off the field,” Wilson voiced on Instagram. “Not wanting to be the winner and not wanting to prove I’m better, but strictly wanting to be put in a position to help my family do better.”

“10 years ago to this day I started a journey I didn’t see coming,” he continued. “May 10th, 2014, I was blessed enough to get that shot. BEFORE I GET OUTTA HERE, I want to thank God for blessing me with such a great journey. I know all things are possible because of you and nothing would be possible without you. After not getting drafted, I told myself all I wanted was 3 years, when I got to 3 you told me I could do 5, and when I got to 5 and fractured my hip, I thought 5 was the end of my journey, which exceeded my expectations, but no, you told me keep my head down and keep grinding it out & blessed me with 3 more.”

In a second post, Wilson sent a brief message to each organization that he was a part of, including the Chiefs — who first signed him as a UDFA in 2014.

“To the Kansas City Chiefs Organization, I want to thank you for kicking off this journey and giving me the only shot I ever needed,” Wilson wrote.
