A feature-length documentary about Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens is in production for Amazon Prime.
The streaming service said that its newest endeavor will document “the meteoric rise of one of the most talented, accomplished, and polarizing athletes of America’s most popular sport.” Owens, 51, is participating in the documentary, which is being produced by NFL Films, and will be interviewed about “discovering a new personal path forward” since his time with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Owens has held a love-hate relationship with Eagles fans. After arriving in Philadelphia in 2004 fresh off a thunderous eight-season run with the San Francisco 49ers, Owens proved his prowess for the Eagles squad. His 64-yard-touchdown pass from Donovan McNabb on the first play of the Eagles’ first preseason game in 2004 was legendary.
Things got rocky after the 2004-2005 season. According to a PhillyVoice recap, Owens and McNabb soured their relationship on the field. He got into a fist fight with Hugh Douglas in the Eagles locker room the following season, an incident that led to the Eagles suspending him indefinitely without pay after playing in only seven games.
Following his stint with the Eagles, Owens played for three seasons for the Dallas Cowboys before ending his pro football run in Cincinnati and Buffalo. He was ultimately inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018 after being snubbed two times by voters who called out his poor character.
Amazon Prime is no stranger to ordering documentaries on the Eagles. In 2023, the “Kelce” documentary was the streaming platform’s most-watched documentary ever in the United States that detailed Jason Kelce’s second-to-final season for the Philadelphia Eagles.
