Tyler Owens, a standout from Texas Tech, is making waves both on and off the field. At the NFL combine, Owens is a top contender to clock the fastest 40-yard dash time. However, it's his recent comments that have drawn attention.
During a media session in Indianapolis, the 22-year-old defensive back shared his unique perspective on the world. Owens expressed skepticism about the existence of space, stating his belief in being alone currently. He also delved into unconventional theories, mentioning his intrigue with flat earth concepts and questioning the heliocentric model.
Despite his cosmic contemplations, Owens remains focused on his athletic performance. He boldly predicted a remarkable 40-yard dash time in the 4.2-second range for the upcoming event.
Before his time at Texas Tech, Owens began his college career at the University of Texas. Known for his speed, he excelled in track at Plano East High School, achieving notable results such as a second-place finish in the Texas 6A 100 meters with a time of 10.38 seconds.
On the field, Owens showcased his skills with 37 tackles, including an impressive 10-tackle game against Houston last season. His athletic prowess extends beyond football, as evidenced by his track achievements, including multiple sub-11 second 100 meter times and a notable 45-foot, 5-inch triple jump.
As Owens prepares to make his mark at the NFL combine, his blend of speed and versatility positions him as a promising prospect to watch.
