Olsen continues to be tied to the sport of soccer.
He joined former Panthers teammates Jonathan Stewart and Luke Kuechly to educate a highschool staff, and he was a fast riser as an analyst as nicely.
Sadly, he was displaced due to Tom Brady.
With the legendary quarterback set to enter the sales space and be a part of Kevin Burkhardt as their lead colour commentator, Olsen will now must accept a secondary spot.
He has change into a fan favourite due to his nice perception and evaluation of the sport.
Then once more, there’s not a lot you are able to do when Tom Brady is the man who’s going to switch you.
Granted, nobody is aware of how Brady will fare as an analyst, and whereas he’s the perfect soccer thoughts on the quarterback place, that doesn’t essentially imply he’s going to be as nice as a commentator.
Within the meantime, Olsen must preserve his head up and proceed to do his nice work.
