Greg Olsen calls out Adam Schefter over Travis Kelce mistake

Greg Olsen had a great review of ESPN reporters Adam Schefter and Travis Kelce on Sunday.

While Kelce continues to dominate headlines thanks to his play with the Chiefs and his relationship with Taylor Swift, Schefter tells X that the Kansas City star is the first player in NFL history to have two consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. He commented that he was the only tight end to surpass him.

Olsen, now an anchor for Fox, responded with a GIF of himself in a Carolina Panthers uniform with an incredulous expression and caption.[I’d] Like words. ”

Olsen was referring to his three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons at Carolina from 2014 to 2016.

“[I] Position has been revised,” Schefter posted in a reply. “Greg Olsen has achieved 1,000 yards receiving in three consecutive seasons, the second-longest streak by a tight end in NFL history behind Travis Kelce.”

The 34-year-old Kelce entered Sunday's regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers with just 16 yards left to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the eighth consecutive year, which is certainly a record. .

However, Kansas City, which won the AFC West last week, had already been confirmed as the No. 3 seed, so the Chiefs ruled Kelce out of the game as a “coach's decision.''

Kelce's career-high 1,416 yards came in the 2020 season.

Olsen had a career-best 1,104 RBIs for Carolina in 2015, Cam Newton's MVP season when the Panthers reached the Super Bowl.
