Terrell Owens

Terrell Owens is a retired NFL wide receiver, currently ranked second overall in receiving yards in NFL history, along with being ranked third for most touchdown receptions. After a decent career at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Owens was drafted in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft. Owens broke out in 1998 after an injury to Jerry Rice put Owens into the main receiver role, finishing the season with 936 reception yards and eight touchdowns. After a controversial trade and then lawsuit, Owens signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004, receiving a seven year deal worth forty nine million dollars. After a successful but tumultuous two seasons with the Eagles, Owens was cut and signed with the Dallas Cowboys in 2006. Owens would go on to lead the league with 13 reception touchdowns that season, earning his sixth Pro Bowl honor. Owens act would eventually grow tired in Dallas, and although he was extremely talented, owner Jerry Jones became fed up, releasing Owens in 2009. Owens struggled to find a home after the Cowboys, playing for various teams, but never reaching the elite status again. Owens is also a respected and best-selling author, penning a children’s book, “Little T Learns To Share” and a fitness book “Finding Fitness”. Owens’ latest endeavor, “The What TO Do Global Campaign” is an initiative aimed at empowering and motivating youth around the world through speaking, workshops and with the launch an inspirational clothing line for men, women and children. His most recent TV venture was being a contestant on Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice.
