NFL prospect from Texas doesn't "believe in space"

• Somewhere along the way, he was presumably taught that space exists, that other planets exist and that humans have, in fact, been through space en route to the Moon.

Context: A surprising number of NFL players believe that Earth is flat, recently-retired Eagles center Jason Kelce said on his podcast last year.

What they're saying: "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," Owens told reporters last week.

• "I thought I used to believe in the heliocentric thing where we used to revolve around the sun and stuff. But then I started seeing flat earth stuff and I was like, this is kind of interesting."

Catch up quick: Though Owens' name doesn't appear in the early rounds of most prominent mock drafts, he had a good senior season at Tech and he's oversized for a defensive back, with great speed and agility.

• He also came just 1 inch short of the combine's broad jump record.
• Yes, but: He came up limping during his 40-yard dash.

What's next: The NFL Draft begins April 25.
