Owens had this to say: “While I am incredibly appreciative of this opportunity, I have made the decision to publicly decline my invitation to attend the induction…

The Quarterback came with high expectations and after taking the starting job midway through his rookie season he was cemented as the starting pivot in 2010 and this was arguably his best season in professional…
