CHARLOTTE, N.C. – What do William Shatner, Dwayne “The Rock’’ Johnson and NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. have in common?
They all joined forces Sunday on social media to help Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen win $25,000 for his charitable foundation.
As one of 32 players nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, Olsen was eligible for a social media challenge in which the player who got the most Twitter mentions by midnight on Sunday would earn $25,000 for the charity of his choice.
Olsen entered the final weekend with a substantial deficit to San Franciso’s Torrey Smith.
