Tom Brady Praises Hall of Famer’s Son After 49ers’ Preseason Finale Touchdown
Santa Clara, CA — In the 49ers’ preseason finale, Terique Owens — son of Hall of Famer Terrell Owens — turned a routine August rep into a signature moment, shaking free on a red-zone route and finishing a back-shoulder grab at the pylon for six. The roar at Levi’s sounded like belief, not just celebration.
Owens’ month has been about craft, not surname: urgent feet off the line, strong hands through contact, and route timing that slots neatly into Kyle Shanahan’s windows. The touchdown felt like the tape catching up to the whispers from camp.
And in this imagined scenario, Tom Brady stamped the performance with high praise:
“Terique is a receiver who is wise beyond his years. He has incredible hands, an even better mindset, and the kind of poise that you don’t see in many young players. He’s got all the tools to become a true star in this league.”
Inside the building, the feedback is similarly steady. Coaches point to how quickly Owens resets after a miss, wins leverage at the top of routes, and competes in the run game — small habits that travel when the lights get brighter.
Whether this night becomes a roster springboard or simply an opening chapter, the message resonates in red and gold: Terique Owens isn’t borrowing a legacy. He’s building one. And if Brady’s hypothetical assessment proves prophetic, the 49ers may have found another reliable chain-mover in a receiver room built on precision and competitiveness.
