A former Carolina Panthers pass catcher is hanging up his gloves.
Wideout D.J. Chark announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday. The 29-year-old receiver, who played one of his seven NFL seasons with the Panthers, posted the following on Instagram this evening:
Chark, an Alexandria, La. native and Louisiana State University product, was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He’d spend his first four pro campaigns there, amassing 147 receptions for 2,042 yards and 15 touchdowns over 43 games.

Following a one-year stint for the Detroit Lions in 2022, Chark signed with the Panthers in the offseason of 2023. He ended up starting in 11 of his 15 outings for Carolina, recording 35 catches for 525 yards and five touchdowns.
His last regular-season down came as a member of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024.
