Is Jonathan Owens' competitive edge in chess a sign of his relentless drive in all aspects of life?

Jonathan Owens seems to have attained mastery in sports other than his usual football. Having started off the season with a thumping touchdown, Owens has been in the midst of a rigorous NFL season. Looking to get his team out of the lean patch, Simone Biles’ husband is leaving no stone unturned in practice. However, apart from sweating it out in the sun for the Bears, Owens also needs some time off to rejuvenate himself. 

Likewise, the newly signed Bears’ star seems to be enjoying some me time with his family and friends. In a recently uploaded Instagram story, it looked like Jonathan Owens was flexing his brainpower off the field, sharpening his skills with a chessboard! Joining him in the mental workout was none other than Instagram user ‘don_empire314,’ who didn’t seem to fare too well against Owens. But hey, the stakes were low, and the friendship stakes are high—Don was even one of the groomsmen at Simone Biles and Owens’ wedding.

Their bond runs deep, as shown on Don’s Instagram, where he’s often hyping up his buddy. When Simone and Jo tied the knot last year, Don shared a carousel post posing with Owens, calling him the “man of the hour.” He kept it short and sweet, writing: Could write a lot but!!!We know what it is 🤞🏿bro 💯 Jonathan Owens this gone be a week for the record books for you…!!!! From wedding vibes to chess battles, this duo’s bromance is clearly checkmate-level strong!

But the NFL star did not spare a thought or even show the minimum compassion for his friend. Getting dominated in the game of chess, Owens’ friend uploaded a picture of the game while he acknowledged Owens’ mastery. Calling him the better player, the groomsman wrote, “@jowens you next big dog.”

Hearing his praise, Owens too seemed to get pretty excited. Taking pride in his own ability, Owens posted a screenshot of the same and issued a friendly warning to his friend. The Bears’ star wrote, “Now you know you don’t want that smoke.” Surely, Owens seems to have gotten overly competitive even while playing friendly games. A trait he might have acquired from his GOAT wife, Simone Biles. 

What’s your perspective on:

Is Jonathan Owens' competitive edge in chess a sign of his relentless drive in all aspects of life?

Have an interesting take?

Speaking of Biles, Owens has made sure that he is not spending his entire holiday playing chess. The duo could be cozying up with each other, getting ready to watch the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson match, which at the time was scheduled to begin shortly. As a matter of fact, while the duo would battle for supremacy, this will give Owens a perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with his wife.

The Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fever has caught up with Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens. And this has proved to be a relaxing way out for Owens to escape from his busy NFL routine. In a recently uploaded picture on Instagram, Owens could be seen teaming up with his wife in their bedroom to soak in all the excitement that the historic matchup will provide. With the lights dimmed and the blankets in place, only the feet of Biles and Owens could be seen.

Now, coming to the fight, the entire world is waiting with bated breaths to see who emerges on the winning side. Things might seem a bit lopsided on paper. Paul, who is 27 years old, will be fighting Mike Tyson, who is nearing his 60. With an age gap of 30 years, it might look like Paul will take an easy victory. However, with the physical condition Tyson is in, he will be looking to close down on Paul. Thus, with a lot of things at stake, the entire world will be watching who among the two emerges on top.
