Sports enthusiasts are no strangers to the name Greg Olsen, a former National Football League (NFL) player known for his talent and contributions to the sport.
Olsen, who played 14 seasons in the NFL, recently gained recognition as a co-host of the NFL broadcast team for a season.
Born on March 11, 1985, in Paterson, New Jersey, Greg Olsen began his football journey at the University of Miami before being drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2007. Standing at an impressive six feet and five inches, and weighing 255 pounds, Olsen made a name for himself as a tight end and three-time Pro Bowler during his NFL career.
In 2019, Olsen played for the Carolina Panthers before retiring in 2020 at the age of 35. Following his retirement, Olsen transitioned to a new role as a sports analyst, joining FOX Sports as the network’s number two NFL game analyst in 2021. His partnership with renowned play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt has been well-received by fans.
However, in a surprising turn of events, it was announced in May 2024 that Greg Olsen would be stepping down from his broadcasting role to pursue a new project.
Olsen is set to launch Youth Inc., a digital media network focusing exclusively on youth sports content. This new venture aligns with Olsen’s passion for sports and his desire to make a positive impact on young athletes.
Despite his retirement from the NFL, Greg Olsen has amassed a substantial net worth of $16 million, thanks to his successful football career and various endorsement deals.
Alongside his professional accomplishments, Olsen is a devoted husband to his wife, Kara Dooley, and a loving father to their three children, T.J. Olsen, Tate Olsen, and Talbot Olsen.
