NEW DELHI: Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens, known as the husband of legendary Olympic gymnast
Simone Biles, is making a significant impact on the field as his team embarks on a playoff push in the final weeks of the 2023 NFL season. Owens, a part of the rebuilding Packers, has proven to be a vital component of the team's secondary.
According to Spotrac, Owens is currently operating under a one-year contract with the Packers, valued at $1,010,000. This move followed his tenure with the Houston Texans, who opted for a rebuilding strategy that led Owens to Green Bay. Despite his status as a significant backup, Owens has proven his worth on the field.
Over the course of his six-year NFL career, Owens has earned a total of $3,246,072. His journey began as an undrafted free agent, signing with the Arizona Cardinals, where he earned $375,000 in his rookie season. Subsequently, Owens spent three years in Houston, accumulating $1,861,072, before his current stint with the Green Bay Packers.
Jonathan Owens entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent, following a successful collegiate career at Missouri Western State University.
Despite earning second-team all-Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association honors and being named MWSU Male Student-Athlete of the Year, Owens went undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft.
His journey serves as a testament to the fierce competition in the league and the challenges faced by talented players from lesser-known collegiate conferences.
