The next fastest guy is D-III Michael Allan (4.67 if I remember correctly), and he is at best a 2-3 year project.That is what the Pack need more than anything, because Bubba can be an adequate 2nd TE option and he is a good blocker. We need a TE who is fast, and can stretch the field, and Olsen is the best in that regard.Chicago and Minny both run Cover 2's, and since the Lions HC came over from Tampa Bay, I wouldn't be surprised if he ran a version of the Cover 2. That style of play calls for us to have a fast TE to exploit the middle of the field. A Zach Miller or Ben Patrick wouldn't allow us to exploit the middle like a Greg Olsen would.Last game of the season versus the Bears, I remember Holiday exploiting the middle in a couple of his catches, and they were for big gains. I think Olsen would be a wonderful fit, and he's the one I'm hoping the Packers get.I've soured on Ginn, but if the Packers staff get him then I'll be convinced they think his injury isn't a huge factor. The Packers still need playmakers, and to get a player with the playmaking potential of Ginn at 16 is something that is too good to pass up IMO.</blockquote>
