Former San Francisco 49ers superstar and 2018 Pro Football Hall-of-Fame inductee Terrell Owens has lost a collection of memorabilia from his playing days after an Atlanta storage company auctioned off the items in his unit due to a series of unmade payments.

According to celebrity gossip site TMZ, James Rice of Jan's Used Furniture in Griffin, GA, would be “happy” to give the items he bought at auction back to Owens. Among them is a custom bust of the six-time Pro Bowler, a 49ers helmet signed by multiple players, game-worn shoulder pads, and a pair of rare Jordan XIII football cleats.

Owens, when reached by TMZ, claimed he was unaware the auction had taken place and that he's been trying to get in touch with the storage company for years. He also has every intention of retrieving his items from Rice.

Owens was a third-round pick of San Francisco in the 1996 NFL Draft. Though the early stages of his career were beset by a nagging penchant for drops, he nevertheless quickly established himself as one of the most gifted wide receivers in football, catching 60 passes for 936 yards and eight touchdowns while filling in for an injured Jerry Rice his sophomore season. Owens played eight full seasons with the Niners before being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004. After three productive seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and one each with the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, his NFL playing days came to a close in 2010.

Last June, the 45-year-old Owens made headlines when he suggested on Twitter that he was hoping to make a comeback with the 49ers, a development that never came to fruition.
