The Associated Press announced today that New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was voted second-team All-Pro. Olave's All-Pro nomination marks the ninth consecutive season that the Black and Gold has had at least one All-Pro selection.
Olave, 6-0, 187, was originally selected by New Orleans in the first round (11th overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. In 2025, he started all 16 games he appeared in and finished the season ranked seventh in the NFL in receptions and eighth in receiving yards, posting 100 catches for 1,163 yards (11.6 avg.) and nine touchdowns. Olave's career year has firmly established him as an AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year candidate after missing nine games during the 2024 season due to two concussions.
Olave also finished second in the NFC and third in the NFL with 30 third down receptions, while his seven touchdown catches on third down led the entire NFL. The Southern California native became only the second Saint with 100 receptions in a season, with his 100 catches in 2025 being the fourth-highest total in Saints history.
In his first four NFL seasons, Olave has played in 55 career games with 44 starts, recording 291 receptions for 3,728 yards (12.8 avg.) with 19 touchdowns.
