Owens participated in the 49ers' local pro day on April 10, acknowledging the possibility of his NFL journey starting as an undrafted free agent.
"Honestly, I started football late, so I'm a late bloomer to this," Owens said after the workout. "But I see myself going as an undrafted free agent. Obviously, I've been working and obviously trying to get that opportunity to get drafted. But, like I said, I'm a late bloomer, and I've just been progressively getting better and hoping to get an opportunity to get drafted."
San Francisco was among the teams that observed Owens' workout during the University of Missouri's pro day on March 22. He recorded a 40-time of 4.51 seconds, a vertical jump of 38.5 inches, and a broad jump of 10 feet, 4 inches.
According to ESPN statistics, the 2023 season was Owens' most productive. He amassed 28 receptions for 528 yards, averaging 18.9 yards per catch, and four touchdowns with Missouri State. Owens' receiving yards ranked second on the team behind Raylen Sharpe, who finished with 991.
