No players on the Denver Broncos come from New Jersey, but two members of the Carolina Panthers are Jerseyianites!

One of Cam Newton's favorite targets, tight end Greg Olsen was born in Wayne. He attended Wayne Hills High School, where he played football, basketball, and track & field. He originally enrolled at Notre Dame but transferred to the University of Miami. Olsen led the Panthers in Receptions and Yards, and had the second most touchdowns.

Third-string tight end Scott Simonson was born in Red Bank, playing football at Middletown South before attending Assumption College in Massachusetts.
