Owens appeared in all 17 games for the Green Bay Packers last season, with Biles often in attendance, defending three passes and recording a sack. He registered a total of nine tackles in two games against the Bears last season.
With 30 World Championship medals (23 gold including six all-around titles), Biles is widely considered to be one of the greatest artistic gymnasts of all time. Her seven Olympic medals ties Shannon Miller for the most ever by an American gymnast. The reigning all-around world champion, Biles is gearing up to compete in the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris.
