Former Alabama WR Gehrig Dieter retires from the NFL
After spending five seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, former Alabama receiver Gehrig Dieter has retired from the NFL. Dieter was a member of the 2019 Chiefs team that won a Super Bowl.
Dieter spent only one year with Alabama after landing in Tuscaloosa via the transfer portal from Bowling Green. In his lone season with Crimson Tide, Dieter posted 15 catches for 214 yards and four touchdowns.
Unfortunately, Dieter did not hear his name called in the 2017 NFL Draft, but the Chiefs picked him up immediately as an undrafted free agent. He spent the entirety of his career with the Chiefs organization and spent most of his time on the practice squad but did spend some time on the active roster. He made two career catches for 32 yards playing alongside Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes.
On May 5, 2022, Dieter was released by the Chiefs before ultimately retiring on June 8. It will be interesting to see what Dieter does next.
