The Indianapolis Colts are making waves in free agency, re-signing key players like quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Alec Pierce. But perhaps the most intriguing addition is safety Jonathan Owens, a move that has caught the attention of Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles.
Biles, who wasn't a Colts fan before this offseason, is now cheering for Indy, thanks to her husband, Owens, joining the team. She shared her excitement on Instagram, expressing pride and anticipation for their new chapter in Indianapolis.
Colts fans can expect to see Biles frequently at Lucas Oil Stadium, likely sporting Owens' jersey with her signature style. Her presence will be a reminder of who she's rooting for, adding a touch of star power to the stands.
As for Owens, there's hope that he can elevate his performance with the Colts. While his recent roles with the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears were primarily on special teams, where he excelled with 11 tackles in 2025, his defensive stats have room for improvement. His past quarterback rating allowed was a challenging 118.2 or worse.
Owens might not be stepping directly into the shoes of departed safety Nick Cross, with Hunter Wohler potentially taking on that responsibility. However, Owens' special teams prowess, highlighted by an elite 90.1 grade from Pro Football Focus in 2025, makes him a valuable asset.
While matching his wife's gymnastic achievements-11 Olympic medals, including seven golds-on the football field is a tall order, Owens has the potential to make a meaningful impact. The Colts are hoping he can contribute defensively while continuing his special teams excellence.
