Owen joined the Giants in 1926 after having played two years in stints with the Kansas City Blues, Hartford Blues, Cleveland Bulldogs, and Kansas City Cowboys. Owen would be named a First Team All-Pro in 1927, and he was the captain of a team that went 11-1-1 and won the NFL Championship. Owen became the player-coach in 1930, and after he ceased playing, he continued to coach the Giants until 1953, winning two more NFL Championships.
Owen was named to the 1920s All-Decade Team, and he was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a Coach in 1966. Fittingly, he was chosen for the Giants first Ring of Honor Class in 2010.
