CHARLOTTE -- Foster Hale could have picked anyone – Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly or another star somewhere else. But Hale, a 17-year-old from Indian Trail, N.C., wanted to be Greg Olsen for a day.
Thanks to Make-A-Wish, Hale, who's battling leukemia, lived out his dream during Tuesday's minicamp practice.
Yet afterward, Olsen repeated what he said last month when asked about his place among the NFL's tight ends:
"I'm never going to win the popularity contents."
But as Hale's wish proved, popularity is relative.
Sure, the internet won't fall over itself in a rush to post Olsen's latest shenanigans like it does whenever Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski chugs a beer.
