Owusu totaled just 35 collegiate games as a result of a torn MCL and a hand injury to go along with his concussions, but was a productive player when called upon. As a sophomore, Owusu hauled in a career-high 37 catches for 682 yards, an impressive average of 18.4 yards per catch and five touchdowns but saw his playing time and production dip significantly as the injuries mounted. For a few NFL teams, the concussion history made Owusu a high-risk prospect and he was taken off of some draft boards. The 6′ 2” receiver would eventually go undrafted despite an impressive showing at the combine in which he ran a 4.36 forty. Owusu has spent just over two seasons with the Buccaneers in Tampa bay before being let go and catching on with the Jets. While with the Bucs, Owusu’s playing time was limited to 17 games which resulted in 16 receptions for 158 yds and a touchdown. His experience as a kick returner could boost his chances of making the Jets roster in 2015 as he battles with a slew of other hopefuls in training camp.

#27TheDominator Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Nice piece. I hope he can overcome the concussions. I don't think he sniffs 6'2" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
