There is no denying tight end Greg Olsen is a seasoned veteran of the National Football League, but just how seasoned is he? Well, Olsen is “experienced” enough to have now played in the NFL with Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf and Metcalf’s DAD, Terrence.
Metcalf’s father spent seven seasons in the league as a guard for the Bears, where Olsen began his career in 2007. Although the two only spent a couple of years together on the roster, the time wasn’t forgotten.
Metcalf recounted a story for reporters during his Zoom press conference on Thursday.
“Like a month ago, me and Greg worked out and I brought my dad up there with me, and how they rekindled an old flame was kind of funny, because they just started smiling,” Metcalf said. “And Greg was like, ‘I’ve got to tell you about some stories in the locker room,’ and all of that. So, I mean, it looked like they had a pretty good relationship. But me just learning from Greg, it’s been great. He’s been teaching me a lot this offseason, since he’s been in the league, probably, what, 20 years now?
For the record, Olsen was selected by the Bears in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft, so he has a few more seasons to play before he hits the 20-year mark.
“He’s a great player, great tight end, and just to learn from him, it’s going to be special,” Metcalf said with a smile.
