Simone Biles risks Bears fans’ backlash again after saying Packers star among most impressive NFL players

Biles previously caught flak from Bears fans for wearing Packers jacket with husband on it during preseason game

Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, continues to put herself in a position to be disliked by Chicago Bears fans after she revealed one of her favorite NFL players is a Green Bay Packer.

Biles, whose husband is Bears safety Jonathan Owens, does understand the rivalry Chicago and Green Bay have for each other in the NFC North. Owens was a Packer last season before signing with the Bears before the start of this year.

Earlier this year, as Biles was fresh off her 2024 Paris Olympics dominance, she was spotted at a Bears preseason game wearing a custom Packers jacket, which had her husband’s previous jersey number and such on it. Many Bears fans took to social media to voice their displeasure with the outfit choice by Biles, as she stood on the Soldier Field sidelines.

Now, one of Owens’ ex-teammates was shouted out during an appearance by Biles on the “Not Just Football with Cam Heyward” podcast after the Pittsburgh Steelers veteran defensive lineman asked her which NFL players impressed her the most.

 

 

“We also loved being with Jordan Love last season, such a breakout star and that was super exciting,” Biles said.

She first mentioned Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes, calling him a “freak of nature.”

“Besides my husband because he’s broken down stigmas that aren’t typical. He’s [Division II], undrafted, year seven in the league which is so good for kids to see, especially when he hosts his football camps. But I really think we always go back to Patrick Mahomes, a freak of nature.
