Greg Olsen Relies on Former Teammates' Support For His Newborn, as He Prepares to Play Bears Today
By Jason Lisk
The Olsens have had many forms of support, as Panthers owner Jerry Richardson chartered a private plane for the family so the surgery could happen at Boston’s Children’s Hospital. Another form has come from Greg Olsen’s former Bears teammates, particularly Charles Tillman. Tillman and his wife dealt with the sadness, long hours, and hospital stays when their daughter Tiana needed a heart transplant in 2008.
"“Charles has been unbelievable,” Greg Olsen said. “As fathers and husbands, you always want to fix everything. But this is something we can’t fix. Here’s somebody who has been down that road, and any tidbit of advice might help.”"
Once teammates always teammates. Even though Tillman will be trying to stop Olsen on the field today, they remind us that good teammates are always there.
