Tight Ends Olsen and Daniels Could Be Decisive in Super Bowl
SAN FRANCISCO — In a tight spot, Cam Newton and Peyton Manning just might look for their tight ends.
It works.
Newton's target is Greg Olsen. Manning's is Owen Daniels.
Some observers believe Olsen is as valuable to his team as All-Pro TE Rob Gronkowski is to the Patriots.
If you think that's a stretch, look at Olsen's numbers: 77 receptions, 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns during the season, when the next leader in catches for Carolina was Ted Ginn Jr., with 44.
In two playoff games, Olsen has 12 catches for 190 yards and one sensational TD. Next best is Philly Brown with six receptions.
