Panthers' Greg Olsen planning a return to elite level, not retirement

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A large group of Charlotte Mecklenburg County teachers erupted into screams late Tuesday afternoon when Greg Olsen emerged from the opposite end of the locker room at Bank of America Stadium.

"That was like 'The Bachelor' reveal," the Carolina Panthers tight end said as he warmed up the crowd before owner David Tepper announced a $120,000 gift to Classroom Central.

Yes, Olsen has a way with words. And he can be downright charming.

That's why the three-time Pro Bowl selection spent Super Bowl Sunday as a guest analyst for ESPN's pregame show, why he was among the candidates last year to be an analyst on Monday Night Football and has been a guest analyst on other networks.
