After a standout 2025 season that resulted in career-high numbers for receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave has made his official debut on the NFL’s Top 100 list at No. 64.
Olave has battled hard to get to the level he is at now. He had suffered four confirmed concussions over the first three years of his professional career but faced the stiff adversity with
a vengeance. Last season, Olave was the star in an otherwise lowly Saints’ offense. He would finish the year with 100 catches, over 1,100 yards, and nine TDs over 16 games played, missing just the season finale due to the discovery of a blood clot in his lung.
The clot was caught early on, and Olave managed a quick recovery. The wideout’s production throughout the remainder of the season was enough to earn Chris the first AP All-Pro nod of his young career as well. Olave was selected for the second team, rightfully claiming stake as a top ten WR in the league.
Olave is now the third current member of the Saints to be named on the annual league-wide poll. He joins DE Cam Jordan (No.100) and RB Travis Etienne (No.96) although the latter played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025.
Chris deserves a big congratulations for his outstanding performance all season long last year, and we are rooting for him to continue building on that success with the 2026 season rapidly approaching!
