Jonathan Owens is hoping to improve on last year’s breakout performance as he enters the 2023 season as a member of the Green Bay Packers. 

On Tuesday, he opened up about his journey and how he drew inspiration to keep going from his wife, Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles.

Owens, who signed with the Houston Texans in 2019 after getting released by the Arizona Cardinals, spoke with the media following OTAs. He said his first career interception over the Los Angeles Chargers in December ultimately "changed the course" of his career after years of waiting for an opportunity.

"Just taking advantage of opportunities. That was it. You get an opportunity to start – I got an interception my second start on Justin Herbert, and that’s really what changed the course of my life I guess." 

Owens, who tied the knot with Biles in April, said he relied on his family for motivation to keep going and said he especially took inspiration from seeing his wife’s dedication to her sport.
