Coming into the NFL, WR/KR/PR Gunner Olszewski knew that he had the odds stacked against
him. A former UDFA out of D-II Bemidji State University in Minnesota, Olszewski starred as a defensive back as well as a return man on special teams, winning Defensive Player of the Year honors in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference as a senior in 2018.
Still, Olszewski lacked the size and athletic profile to be an enticing defensive back at the NFL level and ended up going undrafted, signing with the New England Patriots as a return man while converting to WR in hopes on making the regular season roster.
