Terique Owens, son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens, scored his first professional NFL touchdown during the San Francisco 49ers' preseason finale against the Los Angeles Chargers, catching a 22- to 24-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Carter Bradley. Owens, who went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, signed a futures contract with the 49ers last October and has spent time on the practice squad while showing gradual improvement.

Owens' performance in the preseason marks a significant milestone as he continues to fight for a place on the active roster, with another season on the practice squad seeming likely. His development and perseverance highlight a compelling legacy in motion as he strives to carve out his own path in the NFL. Fans and observers see his touchdown as a promising sign of potential and a connection to the franchise’s iconic past.
