Bio

One of the most prolific wide receivers in NFL history, Terrell Owens was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018 after a 15-year career that saw him earn six Pro Bowl and five All-Pro selections. Owens finished his NFL career with 15,934 receiving yards and 153 receiving touchdowns, ranking second and third in NFL history, respectively, and was named to the NFL’s All-Decade team for the 2000s.

Owens had nine catches for 122 yards for the Philadelphia Eagles in a Super Bowl XXXIX loss to the New England Patriots, memorably returning from a broken leg and torn ligaments suffered just seven weeks prior.

A member of Chattanooga’s 2002 Hall of Fame class, Owens finished his collegiate career as the program’s leader in receiving yards (2,320) and receptions (144) and was second with 19 career TD catches. He is fourth in school history with 16.1 yards per catch and led the Mocs in receiving in each of his final three seasons, playing in the 1996 Senior Bowl. Owens, who had six career 100-yard receiving games and was a first-team All-SoCon selection in 1995, was also a member of UTC’s basketball and track and field teams, helping the hardwood Mocs to SoCon regular-season and tournament titles and NCAA appearances in 1993-94 and 1994-95.
