As the 11th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Chris Olave has lived up to the billing in two seasons with the New Orleans Saints, surpassing the 1,000-yard receiving mark both times. But he believes he's just getting started.
quote:
Olave is looking to elevate his game to the next level in Year 3 as New Orleans turns to him as its No. 1 wideout in 2024.
quote:
"Really everywhere," Olave said Wednesday on The Insiders, which airs on NFL Network and NFL+ at 7 p.m. ET. "Just going into this offseason knowing that (the Saints) believe in me as the Receiver 1, I'm excited to get to work. But I'm just trying to take that next step forward and try to go from a good player to an elite player. So just trying to be consistent every day and put in the work to be able to be one of the top receivers in the game."
quote:
Olave finished last season with 87 catches for 1,123 yards -- both top-20 numbers in the NFL -- with five touchdowns and a two-point conversion. The Saints also finished in the top half of the league in most offensive numbers, especially in the passing game.
quote:
But things didn't always look right on that side of the ball for New Orleans under former offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, including the connection between quarterback Derek Carr and Olave, who appeared to be on different pages at times.

Yes. With a shitty head coach, shitty QB play and an even shittier offensive coordinator, he has 159 catches for 2165 yards and 9 TD’s in 2 seasons. That is more than enough to be considered good and living up to the billing.

What a coincidence… I’m looking for him to do that too!
So weird…

As Bobby Hebert said, Olave needs to focus on gettting more YAC and being stronger while going up in the air to fight for the football against DBs.
Personally, I think he also needs to find the end zone more. 9 TDs in 34 games is not really elite. Maybe if Carr starts playing better it’ll help Olave with this one.

Exactly. He definitely has things he can get better at but the guy hasn't had much to work with.

He is silky smooth at times.

Be honest, how long have you held on to that pic to save it for the perfect opportunity

While very true, he has often times displayed a lack of toughness and a willingness to give up on plays. That HAS to change. It's not a matter of talent with him; it's all about on field dedication, toughness and character. If he fixes that then he can absolutely achieve his goals even with our QB situation.

We didn’t give up the draft capital for him to be good. Brandin Cooks was good.
Olave needs to be an elite WR to live up to the billing, a guy that is focus 1 for a defense when playing the saints.
