Former Ohio State WR Chris Olave turning heads at Saints training camp

Chris Olave was the 11th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints. With new head coach Dennis Allen looking to put the team back on the top of an NFC South that includes Tom Brady over in Tampa Bay, Olave will look to develop an early chemistry with Jameis Winston come the beginning of the season.
Winston, though, has been hampered by a foot injury that has left him day-to-day, so Olave has been working with the team’s other quarterbacks. And he’s hoping to prove that he was worth being selected in the top half of the draft this past spring.
Take a look at this catch he made in Wednesday’s practice session, beating out defensive back CJ Gardner-Johnson for a touchdown:
