Phil Ellsworth / ESPN Images(CHARLOTTE, N.C.) — Panthers’ tight end Greg Olsen has made his way into the record books.
On Saturday, the 31-year-old became the first tight end in NFL history to have three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.
The record came on a 17-yard pass from quarterback Cam Newton in the second quarter of the Panthers’ NFC South matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
Olsen had a career-best 84 catches for 1,008 yards two years ago, and followed that up with 1,104-yard season last year.
