Biles, who will be 25 in March, is widely regarded as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, with a total of 32 Olympic and World Championship medals, which matches her for the most in the sport’s history. Biles was born in Ohio but relocated to the Houston suburb of Spring when she was three years old to live with her grandparents.
Owens, 26, recently finished his third season with the Texans, appearing in seven games — two of which he started – and recording 18 tackles and an interception.
Owens, an undrafted free agent out of Missouri Western, has been released four times before the start of the regular season, but each time he has returned to the league on the practice squad.
