After Jeremy Shockey departed following the 2011 season, Olsen ascended to the level of elite tight ends as the team's cut and dry TE1, establishing himself as the primary receiving target for rookie quarterback Cam Newton and the Panthers' leading receiver during their 15-1 Super Bowl season in 2015.NegativeInjurySep 6, 2026
Olsen's peak was derailed by recurring foot problems in 2017 and 2018; though he returned healthy for 2019, at age 34 and coming off two years of foot issues, he was not the same player, finishing with just 597 yards receiving and two touchdowns before the Panthers released him.PositiveProjectionSep 6, 2026
Olsen became the first tight end in NFL history to tally over 1,000 yards receiving in three straight seasons (2014, 2015, 2016); he topped 800 yards in each of his first two seasons as the Panthers' TE1 after Jeremy Shockey's departure in 2012, establishing himself as an elite tight end and Cam Newton's favorite and most reliable target during the Panthers' 15-1 Super Bowl run in 2015.
