NFL Prospect Reveals He Doesn't 'Believe In Space' Or 'Other Planets' In Bizarre Interview

NFL draft prospect Tyler Owens told a reporter that due to being 'really religious' he doesn't 'believe in space' or 'other planets'—and claimed that flat-earthers make some 'valid points.'

Apparently, we've reached a point where believing that space and other planets exist is now incompatible with Christianity—according to Texas Tech defensive back and NFL draft prospect Tyler Owens, anyway.

Owens recently told a reporter that because he's "real religious," he doesn't "believe in space" or "other planets," which is basically like not believing you have a heart in your chest because you've never actually seen it.


Anyway! Owens also said he thinks that flat-earthers have some "valid points."

His comments came during the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this week, and they really are something.

Owens told the assembled reporters:

"I don't believe in space. 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. 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."

Wonder what he thinks the stars are when he sees them at night. A good journalist would have asked that follow-up question!

Anyway, Owens' hot takes on the cosmos have mostly overshadowed his astonishing athletic prowess.

A defensive back for Texas Tech and a former student and football player at the University of Texas, Owens graduated from East Plano High School in Plano, Texas, where he was a track star and held several impressive titles.

He is now favored to have the fastest 40-yard dash time at this year's NFL Combine, a talent that puts him in high demand for the NFL.

But for the moment, all anyone is really talking about is his... well, frankly bizarre comments about space.






But others find the uproar over his beliefs to be ridiculous and beside the point.



We'll find out if Owens' views on astronomy impact his NFL chances during the NFL draft, held April 24-27, 2024.
