He was the 185th selection overall.
"Relieved, man," Owens said after he was contacted by the Jaguars. "I feel good."
As the second day of the draft progressed, Owens admitted to being "nervous.
But, I mean, I knew it was close to being over. I was happy I was able to get picked up."
Owens will be reunited with former UH offensive lineman Vince Manuwai. Asked what he knew about Jacksonville, Owens said, "Not a whole lot, but I'll soon find out, and I'm ready to go."
