Greg Olsen on Kelvin Benjamin Criticizing Cam Newton: 'It's Kind of Weird'

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen defended Cam Newton against criticism from former wideout Kelvin Benjamin, saying the team supports its quarterback.

"It's kind of weird," Olsen told reporters Sunday. "We all wish Kelvin the best. Obviously, things change. Again, we've talked at length about how guys around here feel about Cam. Obviously, you don't like people going after your quarterback.

"But Cam knows how the guys feel here about him. I would imagine that's what he holds the most credence to."

Benjamin, who spent his first three and a half seasons with the Panthers, told Tim Graham of The Athletic that his career would have been better with another quarterback.
