Former Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens said Thursday he would not attend his own induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a move described as “unprecedented” by the Hall’s president.
“While I am incredibly appreciative of this opportunity, I have made the decision to publicly decline my invitation to attend the induction ceremony in Canton,” Owens said. “After visiting Canton earlier this year, I came to the realization that I wish to celebrate what will be one of the most memorable days of my life, elsewhere.”
The former wide receiver added: “At a later date, I will announce where and when I will celebrate my induction.
