Carolina Panthers great Greg Olsen was on broadcasting duties today in the booth at Bank of America Stadium. So perhaps it’s only fitting that a young up-and-comer at his position recorded his first career touchdown catch with him in the house.
Rookie tight end Tommy Tremble officially tasted the end zone for the first time in his career . . . through the air, that is. The 2021 third-rounder had previously hit pay dirt two weeks ago against the Houston Texans on a 7-seven run.
But he used his hands this time, as quarterback Sam Darnold found Tremble on an easy 5-yard strike.
BIG TOMMY TREMBLE FAN!

The score capped off a nine-play, 62-yard drive for Carolina and helped give them a 10-3 edge with three minutes remaining in the first quarter.
Tremble has now chalked up three total touches on the campaign thus far. So, yes, he puts up points 66.6 percent of the time he lays paws on the rock. Not bad, rook.
