Wayne Hills Alumnus Greg Olsen Shines In Panthers Season Opener

Two-time pro-bowler is posed to have another career year.

WAYNE, N.J. — Greg Olsen picked up right where he left off last season.

Olsen, a two-time pro-bowler and Wayne Hills alumnus, had seven receptions for 73 yards in the Carolina Panther's first game of the season — a 20-21 loss to Denver on Thursday night.

Olsen has become one of the league's best tight ends playing with MVP Cam Newton. He had 1,000-yard receiving seasons, was named an all-pro, and selected to play in the Pro Bowl in 2014 and 2015.
