BREAKING: Former University of Miami TE Greg Olsen Retires.

Greg Olsen stole the pre-game show by dropping his somewhat expected retirement news. Greg, a hilarious personality, is going to take his talents to the FOX Sports Broadcasting booth in the Fall. It will be interesting to see if they shackle his personality, or let him be free. Either way, he will be successful in his next venture.

Speaking of success, at the University of Miami Greg Olsen was touted as the next great TE, in the same conversation as another Miami TE great, Jeremy Shockey. Greg Olsen will ultimately finish in the Top 5 TE’s of all-time. He was top 5 in receiving yards and catches, and top 10 in receiving TD’s throughout his career. I’ll say it, first ballot Hall of Fame.

Off the field, Greg Olsen was a two-time finalist for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award and still has a significant impact on the Charlotte community, per the Panthers’ statement released immediately following the announcement.

Cheers on a great career. Enjoy retirement. It will be great to see what Greg Olsen does from here.
