Former Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mel Owens, now a lawyer in Southern California, will lead the next "Golden Bachelor."

During Hulu's "Get Real" event on Tuesday, Jesse Palmer, host of "The Bachelor" franchise, made a few exciting announcements. In addition to a "Golden Bachelor" renewal, Palmer invited Owens on stage to greet audiences for the first time, where he revealed he learned about his casting less than 24 hours before.
