Are those HOF credentials?

TE is a tough position for the hall traditionally, but with the modern use of the position that could be changing. I'd be surprised if went right in, but maybe eventually.

I agree. He has some pretty stiff competition in Antonio Gates, Jason Whitten, and Rob Gronkowski, all of whom will likely go in before he does, then comes Travis Kelce a few years later. I can't see him getting in.

Olsen gave us solid play this year. A consummate professional and one of the great TEs to play the game.

I hope that his experience and knowledge of the finer points of the game were absorbed by the younger TEs on this team.
That could be his legacy here.
