Panthers great Greg Olsen receives high praise for NFC championship broadcast
In addition to the ones on the field at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, another familiar face shined during this year’s NFC championship game.
With Tom Brady presumably waiting in the wings, Carolina Panthers great Greg Olsen called what may have been his final game in FOX’s No. 1 broadcast booth. And, as he often does, the former tight end absolutely killed it.
So before Brady swoops in to ruin everyone’s good time just like he did during his playing days, let’s revel in the praise for Olsen’s championship performance.
Greg Olsen is so good at explaining football in a quick and concise way.

Greg Olsen deserves all the praise he gets. He took advantage of a huge opportunity (Aikman to ESPN) and has become a terrific listen. Highest compliment a sports TV analyst can get? Do you learn something from his or her broadcast. He delivers that.

Best NFL analyst on TV isn’t a former QB or coach. It’s Greg Olsen.

“It’s very easy to criticize the outcome, but I don’t think it takes away from it being the right decision. Dan Campbell has stayed true to that philosophy from day one, you can’t judge it just because it didn’t work, it’s the reason they got here.”
Greg Olsen is a king 👑

Dear Fox: Greg Olsen is awesome. Don’t replace him with Tom Brady. Please.

putting Brady in over Greg Olsen next year would be like starting Drew Bledsoe in the Super Bowl. can't do it!
