Chris Olave had a memorable and record-setting career at Ohio State. Now, the star receiver is in Indianapolis getting ready to work out for NFL teams as a part of the NFL Combine.
During the 2021 season, Olave finished his time at Ohio State by posting career-high marks with 65 catches, 936 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. For his career, Olave had 175 catches for 2,702 yards and a Buckeye record 35 touchdown catches.
On Thursday, Olave will take part in the positional drills for wide receivers on the combine. Before heading to those workouts, a video surfaced Wednesday of Olave fine-tuning his 40-yard dash with workouts that appear to be taking place in a hotel hallway.

Most mock drafts have featured Olave and fellow Buckeye Garrett Wilson as projected first-round draft picks. A solid to above-average showing for Olave in the 40-yard dash should only solidify that projection.
