SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Greg Olsen is the epitome of a family man, but the Pro Bowl tight end will be all about his football family the next three weeks, forming a strong bond with his teammates that will be forged by the blazing heat of another South Carolina summer.
"For guys with families, it's tough leaving your kids and saying, 'Hey, I'll see you in a few weeks,' or, 'Hey, I'll see you for an hour when you come see practice in a couple of days,'" Olsen said. "But professionally, it's really beneficial."
The year before Olsen began his NFL career, in 2006, 19 of the NFL's 32 teams traveled away from their home facilities to training camp.
