veteran Minnesota road-grader with a family-line finish and nasty edge
Ed Olson brought size, length, and old-school run-game toughness to Minnesota’s offensive line, where he was a redshirt senior and a multi-year starter on the edge. The big differentiator is his pedigree and durability-through-adversity: he played through injuries, kept developing after an early starting role, and earned respect as a physical, dependable tackle rather than a flashy stat-sheet guy. If you want an OL who fits a power-run identity and won’t blink in a trench fight, Olson is your kind of lineman.
