The former Texas Tech defensive back, who also played for Texas, had 37 tackles last season

-Tyler Owens, an NFL prospect, told reporters at the NFL Combine on Thursday that he doesn't believe in space

-Owens, who played three years at the University of Texas and then two years at Texas Tech, is a favorite to have the fastest 40-yard dash time

-The Texas native was a high school track star who had multiple sub-11 seconds 100 meter dash finishes

-Tyler Owens is a favorite to post the fastest 40-yard dash time at the NFL combine, but the Texas Tech product is grabbing headlines for his comments off the field.

While speaking to reporters in Indianapolis on Thursday, the defensive back offered an unconventional take on his place in the world.

"I don't believe in space," Owens, 22, said in a video posted on X by Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski. "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."

He added, "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. They started bringing up valid points, so I mean I don't know, could be real, couldn't be."

He's just an empiricist. He doesn't believe in what he can't see.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

“I don’t believe in space”, from someone who was taught by every coach he can think of to excel in “creating space”. LOL

I think he’s right, we’re living in the Twilight zone where reality is warped. A President who wants to put the country 1st and is treated like the bad guy while a punk taking bribes from China, finances terror, takes sides against our allies has his butt kissed.

So what?

I suspect many in the NFL don’t know basic reading or arithmetic either. In other words, many are stupid.

So what?

No, he’s just African. How’s that African Space Program going?
Every industry in Africa is due to Europeans, Asians, and Arabs.

Anybody that’s heard some of these players interviewed knows they didn’t do much academic work on their own in college OR high school more than likely......ESPECIALLY english.

I had an admin assistant in my office around 2010 that was a tutor for football players at Clemson just beforewe hired her.

In discussing that one day I asked her how much work do the tutors do for them, stone face serious she said “make no mistake, we do ALL OF IT”.
