The sports world took to Twitter to react to this news.
“The crossover content I didn’t know I needed,” one fan wrote.
“Lots of #Packers fans doing backflips and somersaults over this post,” another said.
“The Packers replacing Aaron Rodgers with Simone Biles is such an excellent Vibe Trade for Green Bay,” another added.

Owens originally signed with the Arizona Cardinals after going undrafted in 2018. The 27-year-old safety spent the last four seasons on and off the Houston Texans practice squad. He suffered a dislocated wrist in the team’s Week 16 loss to San Francisco.
Biles and Owens got engaged in February 2022 and were married in Cabo last month.
“I actually felt so sick the entire day, and when it was almost time to walk, my heart was beating out of my chest. I’ve never been so nervous before in my life,” she told Vogue. “[But,] I felt confident walking down the aisle. Seeing Jonathan at the altar was a dream. Our guests were cheering for everyone. I was shocked by the love in the air. The ceremony was so beautiful and dreamy!”
It’s been a big couple of weeks for the newly-wed couple.
