Coach Hunt on Owen: "He's made a lot of long plays, which is good, because he's had to live up to his name for four years. When you look back, he's really made a lot of plays in this offense. He's found the end zone quite a bit, has a lot of long plays and has just been a consistent contributor during his whole career here. He came in as part of a receiving corps that was big and we wanted a group that was all good players and he fits that role. He has things that he does very well and he has made a lot of plays for us both in the receiving and kicking game. When it's all said and done, he'll be one of the more productive wide receivers we've had and that's saying something. He's certainly made the most of every ounce of his ability."
