Greg Olsen gets more great reviews for broadcast work

Many NFL players face an uncertain future after their playing days are done. We don’t need to wonder what Greg Olsen is going to do, though. Once he retires, Olsen is going directly to the broadcast booth, where he seems every bit as natural as he has at tight end these last 13 years.

Olsen’s latest effort in TV analysis was today’s game between the Cardinals and the Giants. Arizona won 27-21 thanks to a monstrous line from Chase Edmonds, who totaled 126 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Olsen stole the show with his analysis, though.

Here’s a few tweets praising his work.

Had to look up who this new, excellent CBS announcer was on Giants-Cardinals. Greg Olsen getting it done during a bye week.

Panthers TE Greg Olsen (@gregolsen88) did a masterful job on color for the FOX broadcast of the Cardinals-Giants game. Sounded like a seasoned broadcast from top to bottom.

I would expect Olsen receives multiple job offers the moment he retires from the #NFL

Greg Olsen has been phenomenal so far.

Greg Olsen is very good in the booth. We’ll always dish out hate for announcers we don’t like, it’s important to also recognize a good one. #AZvsNYG

It's kind of interesting that Greg Olsen took a week off from playing NFL football, jumped into TV booth as an analyst, and was better than most of guys doing it for a living.
Olsen is all set for retirement!

Great call by Greg Olsen on the NFL on FOX broadcast pointing out the slide called by Giants on the FG attempt. Intentional movement shifting to the right drew the penalty.

Forced the punt.

Credit to Thomas McGaughey … wonder if Olsen recalled that from when TMac was in CAR

Greg Olsen is really good at this—insightful, funny, and draws on his own experience when it’s relevant.

Greg Olsen is better than a lot of people who do this every week. https://t.co/FObedZnNOB

I really enjoyed the Kenny Albert-Greg Olsen broadcasting team today. Olsen definitely has a future on commentary.

Anyway, I think I speak for everyone when I say we need more Greg Olsen in the booth. He was phenomenal. So insightful. Will be great for the casual fan who wants to gain more knowledge about the game.

Greg Olsen was seriously better in the booth as an analyst today than many NFL TV analysts are that have been doing it for years and to think he goes right back to life as a player tomorrow. That is damn impressive.
