That gift was tight end Greg Olsen—who was traded to the Panthers following a relatively underwhelming tenure with the Chicago Bears. Despite having been a first-round pick of the organization in 2007, the University of Miami standout never reached his full potential in the move to the “Windy City.”
As the story goes, Martz—Chicago’s offensive coordinator between 2010 and 2011—didn’t believe the 6-foot-5 pass catcher was a personnel fit for his system. In Olsen’s lone season with Martz, one that saw him block a bit more than he probably hoped to, he reeled in just 41 receptions for 404 yards and five touchdowns.
