NFL prospect admits he ‘doesn’t believe in space’ in combine interview
Combine podium interviews are typically pretty basic for prospects. They field media questions about their college experiences, their favorite players, who they’ve met with here in Indy, and sometimes even the weirdest question they’ve been asked. We have a new clubhouse leader for the weirdest answer to a combine podium question.
Texas Tech safety Tyler Owens had the most memorable answer to a question in a long time. Owens declared that he does t believe space, or other planets, actually exist.
“I don’t believe in space,” Owens said straughtfaced. “I don’t think there’s other planets and stuff like that.”
The follow up question asking where his interesting belief came from is difficult to make out but involves “flat earth” conspiracies.
“I don’t believe in space. I don’t think there’s, like, other planets and stuff like that.”
Texas Tech safety Tyler Owens had some…thoughts to get off his chest at the NFL Combine 😂
