CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - SEPTEMBER 12: The midfield logo at Bank of America Stadium is seen prior to the game between the New York Jets and the Carolina Panthers on September 12, 2021 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Greg Olsen is one of the most beloved Panthers players of all time. He has made himself an integral part of the community raising money for Levine Children’s Hospital through his Heartest Yard Foundation. And who could discount his contributions to the organization as a player. These days Olsen spends his time as an analyst for Fox. And it’s that gig that has the Panthers legend nominated for an Emmy. Well, a Sports Emmy, which is one of the highest honors available to broadcasters.
Olsen is one of five nominees in the outstanding personality/emerging on-air talent category. The other nominees in his category are:
- ESPN/ABC/SEC Network’s Andraya Carter
- ESPN’s Robert Griffin III,
- ESPN’s Eli Manning
- ESPN’S JJ Redick
The 44th Annual Sports Emmy Awards will be presented at New York’s Lincoln Center on Monday, May 22nd. Good luck Greg! Get all the info on Greg Olsen the Panthers legend now nominated for a Sports Emmy via the Panthers.
