CHRIS OLAVE 2025 SEASON ANALYSIS
Coming off a season limited to only eight games due to injuries in 2024, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave bounced back in a major way putting together the most productive season of his career. The fourth-year wide receiver tallied his third 1,000-yard season with career highs of 100 receptions for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns leading the Saints in all three receiving categories.
He became the sixth Saint with 1,100 receiving yards in a season joining receivers Michael Thomas, Joe Horn, Marques Colston and Brandin Cooks and tight end Jimmy Graham and joined Thomas (three times) as the only other Saints receiver to haul in 100 receptions in a season.
BEST GAME OF CHRIS OLAVE'S 2025 SEASON
The Saints wide receiver would put together the most productive game of his career in Week 16 vs. the New York Jets, tying or setting career highs in the major receiving categories with 10 receptions for 148 yards and two touchdowns. It was the second multi-touchdown game of his career.
Chris Olave, on putting together a 1,000-yard season after his struggles in 2024:
It was a tough time last year. I was only 24 years old, contemplating retirement, especially with the head injuries. But I prayed about it. My close family was around me —they stuck by my side. I just gave it another try, another chance. And it's been a great year through all the ups and downs, just kept focused. Kellen still believed in me, and all I can do is thank God in this situation and I’m super grateful.
