Tom Brady's Fox Colleague Didn't Hold Back When Asked About Working With Him

Former All-Pro tight end and current Fox Sports analyst Greg Olsen recently opened up about working with legendary quarterback Tom Brady, who will join Fox as a football analyst for the upcoming NFL season.

Olsen and Brady recently met during a team meeting for Fox's on-air talent.

There were questions about how their partnership would unfold. Olsen, who has been an analyst for a few years and has earned two Sports Emmy Awards, was initially concerned about how Brady’s arrival might impact his role.

Brady, known for his remarkable career, was brought into the Fox booth largely due to his football legacy and star power. Despite some speculation about potential friction, Olsen has been positive about the collaboration.

"I have no animosity or ill will towards Tom," Olsen said in an interview with Jimmy Traina on " The SI Media Podcast " on Thursday.

There were rumors that Olsen might feel threatened by Brady’s addition, even suggesting he’d "roll over and die" before letting go of his position.

However, Olsen has dismissed these concerns, emphasizing that things have been smooth sailing so far.

“He’s been nothing but respectful and nothing but professional through all of this, which has been amazing, and I’ve tried to be that in return to him,” Olsen added.

Brady’s competitive nature, evident throughout his NFL career, could prove beneficial in his new role as an analyst.

Olsen’s experience combined with Brady’s competitive edge could make for a dynamic team, even though Brady is slated to work alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
