Josh McCown never pressured his oldest son, Owen, to become a quarterback.

It happened anyway.

“I would come home from work. He and his little brother would have a ball waiting,” said Josh McCown, who played 18 seasons at quarterback in the NFL. “They wanted to cover each other with one as the receiver and one as the DB. We did that for hours on end.”

That backyard fun set a foundation for the inevitable.

“It’s all that my brother and I knew,” Owen McCown said. “Getting to watch my dad on TV and wanting to be just like him.”

Flash forward to present day. The next step on his football journey happens in Boulder as the lone high school quarterback signed to Colorado’s early 2022 recruiting class.
