NFL prospect Tyler Owens doesn't 'believe in space' or 'other planets'
Texas Tech defensive back Tyler Owens has some doubts about the existence of outer space.
While speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday, Owens revealed that he doesn't believe in space and is intrigued by flat-earth theories.
"I don't believe in space, 'cause like, I'm really religious," he told Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski, adding, "I don't think there's other planets and stuff like that."

Owens spent three seasons at Texas before transferring to Texas Tech for the 2022 season. He finished his college career with 69 tackles, five passes defended, two forced fumbles, and an interception.
The 6-foot-2, 218-pounder is expected to be among the fastest prospects at the combine and told reporters Thursday that his 40-yard dash time "should be in the 4.2s somewhere."
