Alabama fans were worried heading into the 2020 College Football Playoff, but he silenced all fears.
A knee injury to Landon Dickerson versus Florida in the Southeastern Conference title game forced Chris Owens to anchor the Crimson Tide’s offensive front against Notre Dame and Ohio State. He played well in both games as he assisted Mac Jones to 761 passing yards with nine touchdowns, and Najee Harris to 204 rushing yards, 109 receiving yards, and three scores.
Owens filled in admirably and helped the Tide capture a national title. He could have pursued the NFL Draft with Dickerson, Alex Leatherwood, and Deonte Brown, but he decided to return to school.
