Training camp can become something of a chore for many NFL veterans, especially during practices like Monday, one of the hottest days the Carolina Panthers have endured this summer.
Tight end Greg Olsen knows the drill: The three-time Pro Bowler is entering his 12th season and this is his eighth time staying in the Wofford dorms.
But the arrival of new offensive coordinator Norv Turner and a rookie tight end have helped give Olsen a little extra juice, and prompted him to use an adjective that isn’t often applied to camp.
“This camp’s been fun. It’s been fun for me to learn a new offense, learn to do things a little different than maybe I had gotten used to in the past,” Olsen said Sunday.
