This upcoming August, legendary retired wide receiver Terrell Owens will officially be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio as part of the 2018 class.

In an interview posted with the BC Lions of the CFL, Owens talked about his connections to Canada and said he has ponded the idea of resuming his professional football career up north as recently as last year.

“I have ran with the idea, even as recent as last year,” Owens said. “I have a friend, Kyries Hebert, who played with the Alouettes and so we've trained together. He saw what decent shape that I was in, so I talked to the general manager there. But obviously it didn't really go anywhere, but again I definitely would have attempted to that if something would have come about.”

Owens, who is now 44 years old, says he still trains hard in Los Angeles and is still not ruling out a possible stint in the CFL.

“It wouldn't be hard, it's just a matter of me committing myself to do that. I train now, I'm in L.A. and working out with some guys getting ready for the upcoming season. So again, it's up for discussion, I suppose,” Owens said.
