Arizona wide receiver became the 50th player to reach the milestone in NFL history
AJ Green reached a historic milestone tonight in his career, surpassing the figure of 10,000 receiving yards throughout his career, during the first half of the duel between Los Angeles Rams Y Arizona cardinals at “Monday Night Football“from Week 14.
Green, who is in his first season with Arizona, entered the game with 9,982 receiving yards from nine seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, and so far this season with the Cards.
Thus, the wide receiver chosen seven times a Pro bowl became the 50th player to break the 10,000-yard mark in league history. In addition, he is fifth on the same list when it comes to active players, one notch below his current teammate, DeAndre Hopkins, who started tonight’s game with 10,527 receiving yards.
The historic reception came with 35 seconds left in the first half, sending 9 yards from Kyler murray, at first and 10. Previously, he had caught a previous pass for 17 yards.
Green was chosen in the first round of the 2011 draft, fourth overall, by Cincinnati, from the University of Georgia. Signed with Cardinals for one year and $ 8.5 million last offseason.
For the season Green accumulated, even before the meeting of “MNF“, 35 receptions for 552 yards with three touchdowns in 11 appearances, six of them as a starter.
The team recognized the feat of Green on their social networks.
