Cut by the Arizona Cardinals ahead of the 2019 NFL season, Owens said he was “heartbroken.” He’d had what he thought was a terrific training camp and was sure he was going to make the team.
“It was a big humbling experience for me,” he told USA TODAY Sports. “First time you get cut in your life. It’s basically somebody telling you you’re not good enough.”
Worse, as one week stretched into two without getting calls from any other teams, the doubts began to creep in. Owens knew he could play. But he was an undrafted free agent who’d spent his rookie year on injured reserve, and he’d heard the stories of guys like him getting cut and then just fading away.
