The Chris Olave story: From chasing consistency to chasing greatness

Exploring Chris Olave's path from being ineligible to play in high school, to Ohio State recruit, to being on the verge of superstardom with the New Orleans Saints. This is his journey as told by Brooke Kirchhofer.

Thanks NOF for doing such a great job with covering the Saints and building this piece. It's great to see local sports coverage thriving. I'm a Buckeye fan and Saints fan, and it's awesome watching Olave develop into such a great player, just like Michael Thomas did in college and at the next level.

[@timothywashington880]

My Goodness, they all look and talk exactly alike!! If Chris can improve his 50/50 balls and YAC....He can really, really be super deadly!!! WHODAT⚜️⚜️

Chris not playing junior year might’ve been a blessing in disguise fr😂😂they needa change this transfer rules tho like on CT when u transfer during the season they make you sit out a couple games but not the whole year! That’s tough but he overcame 🫡

[@tshiesty6022]

i miss him so much at osu. wish him and G5 would come back and show the rest of the boys how to create separation more often. glad my saints got him tho!

[@dgranger9288]

Man great job you guys keep getting better and better.

[@NOF]

Much appreciated!

[@ktice504]

It’s crazy how my baby Chris and his brothers sound just alike

[@bub8752]

Yall are knocking it out the park with coverage and content

[@RobertLee-np9zo]

I remember his first TD against Xichigan, I knew right then that greatness was coming. His Junior year I said the Saints need to draft him, not knowing that he would end up wearing Black & Gold. Can't wait to see him breakout this season. Good story. WHO DAT!!

[@tribecallednola]

Crazy, same thing happened to me, I had to sit my senior year out due to a CIF SS transfer rule out here in SoCal. Multiple offers from D2 schools rescinded but I turned that experience into a successful coaching career thus far. Brutal nonetheless for any child to go through.

[@saintsrobbed6450]

I think it's a very bad rule for all athletes. Glad you were able to channel that experience into something positive though. That takes a lot of determination and strength to do.

[@tribecallednola]

@@saintsrobbed6450 definitely a terrible rule, appreciate it though man whodat ‼️🫡

Didn't know anything about this guy before about a week ago but he's been killing it for me in Madden on my new superstar QB on the Saints so I had to check out the story behind this guy. Hope he gets to see as much success in real life as I've brought to him in Madden lol
