1975 Profile: Marv Owens

Wide Receiver
No. 37
San Diego State
"Picked up as a free agent late in the 1974 season when he was recommended by Jamie Rivers, who knew him at St. Louis, Owens bolstered the special teams unit and will be given a full look at wide receiver this season. He was with St. Louis in 1973 but was released during the 1974 training camp.
Owens made the Cards' roster because of his versatility- he can also play quarterback, running back and can placekick- and was in eight games with St. Louis in 1973. He was originally a 14th round selection of Minnesota in 1972 but was cut in training camp.
Marv is the brother of Brig Owens, Redskins safety, and a cousin of the Browns' Greg Pruitt and the Bulls' Bob Love. He was a former No. 1 pick of the Oakland Athletics in baseball. Marv makes his home in LaMesa, California and his hometown is Fullerton, California."
