There's no secret about New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave anymore. The entire league knows about the impressive rookie.
The Ohio State product gas been one of the few exciting pieces of a frustrating season for Saints fans.
He has a great chance to make history for the franchise this year, too.
As a rookie, Olave is on pace to break the Saints' rookie record for receiving yards. That title currently belongs to Michael Thomas.
Among rookie wideouts, Olave clears them all with his production. Other players have had bigger singular games, but his continued consistency is elite for his age.
Rookie wide receivers don't always show the polish and upside that Olave has this early in their career.
Olave has been extremely trustworthy no matter who his quarterback has been as well. Other WRs have a more stable QB situation, but Olave isn't using that as an excuse to make mistakes.
For the Saints, they need to continue to feed Olave in the passing game. His smoothness and speed are special, and they need more explosive plays.
He and Rashid Shaheed deserve even more targets than they have gotten in past weeks.
Keep an eye on Olive's stats as the season winds down to see if he can set this record for the Saints.
