NFL: Carolina Panthers, Selected in the 2007 NFL Draft, 1st Round, 31st Overall (Chicago Bears)
    
- Limited by an injury and a logjam at the tight end position, Olsen still managed to rack up 391 receiving yards as a rookie.  A Pro Bowl alternate in 2008, Olsen hauled in 54 passes for 574 yards. Olsen quickly became new quarterback Jay Cutler’s favorite target in Chicago, as the duo hooked up for more than 1,000 yards and 13 touchdowns in two seasons together. 2011 will provide a change of scenery for Olsen, as the Carolina Panthers made him the centerpiece of a trade.
