Greg Olsen Nominated for Sports Emmy

The Panthers legend has an opportunity to add to his football legacy.

Very few have the level of success that Greg Olsen had on the football field and there's even a smaller group of people that can be just as elite in the TV booth. The Carolina Panthers' legend has made a seamless transition from one of the top tight ends in the NFL to one of the best color analysts the game has to offer. 

Olsen joined FOX's broadcasting team full-time in 2021 and by year two, he and Kevin Burkhardt bumped up to the No. 1 team, replacing Joe Buck and Troy Aikman who departed for ESPN.

Because of his success, Olsen has been nominated for a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Personality/Emerging On-Air Talent. Other nominees include Andraya Carter (ESPN, ABC, SEC Network); Robert Griffin III (ESPN); Eli Manning (ESPN, ESPN+), and JJ Redick (ESPN, ABC).

The 44th Annual Sports Emmy Awards will take place at Lincoln Center in New York on Monday, May 22.
