According to the source, Terrell Owens, who retired from the NFL in 2010, is in terrific shape and wants to prove he can still play at a high level. An official announcement is planned next week.
Owens is by far the most well-known athlete to join Fan Controlled Football, which also includes former college great Johnny Manziel, whose much-hyped NFL career ended after two seasons.
Owens’ 15,934 receiving yards were second in the NFL all-time list at the time of his retirement, while his 153 touchdown receptions ranked third.
