Of course, it is important to note that the question is irrelevant because NFL players do not enter the Hall of Fame associated with just a single team. They simply enter as a player and associated with each team in which they played. However, Owens answered the question anyway.
"Well, it won't be the Niners," he responded.
You can watch Owens' response below.
Owens, who was drafted by San Francisco in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft, was with the 49ers until 2003. He also spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, and Cincinnati Bengals.
Owens certainly posted Hall of Fame-worthy numbers during his NFL career. The six-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro registered 1,078 career receptions for 15,934 yards and 153 touchdowns. Owens ranks eighth all-time in receptions and is second only to Jerry Rice in all-time receiving yards. He also ranks third in all-time receiving touchdowns and fifth among all NFL players in touchdowns.
