Jonathan Owens, a safety in American football, has been playing professionally since 2019 for the Houston Texans of the National Football League. He was initially drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 as an undrafted free agent before officially joining the Texans in 2020.

Jonathan Owens’ Early Life

Owens, who was born on July 22, 1995, received guidance from his mother Arthurine Cannon to become an NFL player. He acknowledges his mother’s efforts and is a family-oriented person with a sister. Despite facing challenges, Owens persevered as a safety.

Education & Career

Initially, the player’s career took a downward turn due to the lack of Division I scholarships available to him while he was studying at Christian Brothers College High School in suburban St. Louis. However, he eventually pursued his education at Missouri Western State, a Division II school.

The NFL scouts were taken aback by his abilities when they visited his college. His 43-inch vertical at the NFL combine far surpassed that of most other athletes.

However, despite not being selected in the draft, Jonathan Owens was later signed by the Arizona Cardinals. Unfortunately, this signing did not pay off for the team as he spent most of his time on the sidelines due to a knee injury.

After struggling with a series of injuries, the Cardinals decided to terminate his contract. As a result, he began training at a local park, which greatly humbled him and inspired him to improve.

Following a series of knee surgeries, Jonathan Owens only appeared in one game in 2019 but managed to play six games in 2020. Despite facing challenges, he eventually earned a spot on the active roster and made his first appearance for the Houston Texans in their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

He joined the Houston Texas practice squad in September and was later moved up to the active roster by the team in November 2019. This led to his first-ever interception during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

According to his official player biography, he joined the team in 2020 and then went on to become a free agent a couple of years later. In May 2023, he signed with the Packers.

The major career change occurred only a month following the wedding of Simone and Jonathan. For years, the couple has shown unwavering support for each other, both publicly and privately.

Personal Life

In 2020, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens gained widespread attention on the Internet after she shared a birthday message for him, which has since been removed. The post included a photo of him carrying her on his back in July.

After a couple of weeks, they officially announced their relationship by sharing a photo on Simone’s social media with the words, “It’s just us.”

Since Simone and Jonathan made their relationship official on Instagram a few days before the start of the 2020 NFL pre-season, it can be assumed that she had attended previous Texans games before the one she shared about in October.

In February 2022, Jonathan Owens asked the big question and Simone shared the exciting announcement on Instagram, showcasing a close-up video of her beautiful ring.

At the end of April, Simone revealed a small surprise to the public: She and Jonathan tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in Texas. As it turns out, their courthouse wedding was simply a means to become officially married before their planned wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Net Worth

At just 28 years old, Jonathan Owens’ net worth is estimated at $7 million, though some sources claim it may be as high as $50 million.

In 2020, he inked a two-year deal with the Texans worth $1,390,000, with an annual salary of $695,000 and a base salary of $780,000. Currently, there is no information available on any endorsement deals he may have signed.
