Texas Tech’s Tyler Owens has some thoughts on space and planets that are simply out of this world.
Owens, a defensive back who is expected to post a blazing hot 40 time at the NFL combine, is currently projected to be a late third-day pick in some mock drafts.
But recent comments suggest he may want to stay in school if he has any hopes of passing the Wonderlic test.
Owens, you see, doesn’t believe in space or other planets besides Earth and even suggested the latter could be flat.

Tyler Owens: I Don’t Believe In Space
“I don’t believe in space,” Owens said in a video posted on X. “I’m real religious, so I think we’re alone right now. I don’t think there’s other planets and other stuff like that.”
“I thought I used to believe in the heliocentric thing where we used to revolve around the sun and stuff,” Owens continued. “But then I started seeing flat earth stuff and I was like, this is kind of interesting. They started bringing up valid points, so I mean I don’t know, could be real, couldn’t be.”
The video has garnered close to three million views.
In other news about ‘things you don’t share with the public just before the NFL combine’, Illinois tight end Tip Reiman apparently furthered a satirical conspiracy theory about birds not being real.
“Have you ever seen a baby pigeon?” Reiman asked. “How do we know that power lines aren’t pigeon recharging stations?”
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce suggested “you’d be surprised” how many people in the NFL believe the Earth is flat.
I mean, they have to be kidding right?
Even if they aren’t, I have to be honest, I don’t care what their scientific beliefs are off the field, so long as they perform on the field.
