Chicago has been home to Simone Biles over the past couple of years. The most decorated Olympic gymnast in history has resided in the Windy City with her husband, Jonathan Owens, who suited up for the Chicago Bears for two seasons.
Owens, however, entered free agency in the offseason after his contract with the Bears ended. The 30-year-old safety received an offer from the Indianapolis Colts, and it was too good to turn down.
