Jourdan reached out to me asking for a little help on some research she’s doing for an article on Donald and Olsen.
Here’s what she’s asking in her own words….
“I am writing about Merlin Olsen (Aaron Donald and Olsen both are on our Top 100 series and we are going in-depth on these pieces rather than simply writing a list) and I would like to write about Olsen through the eyes of those who watched him play and the ears of those who heard him speak. Would you be able to make the ask on the forum that anybody who has a fond memory to share, no matter how large or small, no matter if it's football or otherwise, about Merlin Olsen please reach out to me at jrodrigue@theathletic.com? Or if they have parents or grandparents to connect me to if they might have something to share?”So anyone who has something to tell related to Merlin, either post it in this thread, or send it directly to Jourdan at
jrodrigue@theathletic.com.
Jourdan reads this board, so to post your story here would be great.
Thanks.
