Who Is Jonathan Owens?

Owens went undrafted in 2018, and his initial team was the Arizona Cardinals. However, he was cut by the team in 2019 before eventually joining the Texans. Since hired in Houston, Owens has been active for seven games with the Texans in 2019 and 2020; however, he did not register any stats.

Owens first made it onto the field for the Texans during Week 12. Since then, he has played in every Texans game, getting his first start in Week 15. However, coming into Sunday’s game, Owens had 14 tackles this season. However, he can now add one interception and a fumble recovery to his stat sheet.

Mental Health and Social Justice Advocate

Biles was Time Magazine’s Athlete of the Year and showed courageousness in stepping back in Tokyo Olympics to put her mental and physical health first.

In addition, she was a part of a brave consortium of Olympic gymnasts to expose Larry Nassar, the former Team USA doctor, for sexual abuse allegations. For many, Biles and Naomi Osaka are the most influential athletes of the year for shining the spotlight brightly on the deterioration of mental health concerning sports play.
