New Orleans’ saints have one of the most talented young football receivers at the moment.
Chris Olave was taken with the overall choice n ° 11 in the draft of the NFL 2022 by the saints and has already shown that he can be one of the best receivers of the League when he is in good health. He accumulated more than 1,000 yards during each of his first two seasons, including a career record of 1,123 in 2023. The 2024 season did not take place as planned. It could only appear in eight games and succeeded 32 catches for 400 yards and a touchdown.
He seems to be healthy now, so how will he follow? Mike Clay d’Espn shared his projections For the 2025 season and they were somewhat surprising for Olave.
Mike Clay’s projections for Aaron Rodgers:
15 games played, 114 targets, 78 receptions, 951 reception yards, four affected
It’s somewhat surprising. As a recruit in 2022, he had 119 targets, 72 catches and 1,042 reception yards in 15 games. Obviously, these projections are not too far from them, but now he is in his fourth season and is apparently healthy. It is the option of clear n ° 1 passes for the saints, that Derek Carr, Tyler Shough or someone else either under the center of 2025.
When he was entirely healthy in 2023, he had 138 targets, 87 catches, 1,123 reception yards and five affected. This feels closer to what Olave could do in 2025 with Kellen Moore leading the offense. AJ Brown was the n ° 1 reception option in the offensive led by Moore of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024 and had 1,079 yards in just 13 games. Moore led the Los Angeles load offensive in 2023 and Keenan Allen was the main receiver with 1,243 yards in 13 games. In 2022, he directed the Dallas and Ceede Lamb’s cowboys offensive was the main receiver with 1,359 yards in 17 games.
Olave is the clear receiver n ° 1 and with the history of Moore expect more from him.
