Chris Olave has been everything the New Orleans Saints have hoped for so far in his career. But the young wide receiver is still looking to become even better.

Olave is one of just 14 players in NFL history to have two seasons of 1,000 receiving yards and 70 catches before their age-24 season. The Saints made the right choice to trade up for Olave, who has the most receiving yards in a draft class that also features Garrett Wilson, Drake London and George Pickens. While he isn’t in the upper echelon of wideouts across the NFL, it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see him get there.

In an interview with NFL Network, Olave said that the team believing in him as the top wide receiver goes a long way. He has a huge desire to get even better going forward.

“Really everywhere” Olave said when asked how his game can grow. “Just going into this offseason knowing that they believe in me as [WR1] and I'm excited to get to work. Just trying to take that next step forward, trying to go from a good player to an elite player. Just trying to be consistent every day and put in the work to be able to be one of the top receivers in the game.”

The talent pool at wide receiver is stacked and will only get even more stuffed as more young wideouts step up. Olave's first two seasons show that he has what it takes to be a special playmaker for the Saints. But the organization must do its part, too, and put him in positions to succeed.

Chris Olave looking to get even better for Saints

The Saints' quarterback situation since drafting Olave has been…bad, to put it lightly. New Orleans hopes that it's solidified now with Derek Carr but that probably won’t be the case. The enterally mid veteran isn’t as bad as others but doesn’t have a super long track record of high-level success. Olave will make him look better more often than vice versa.

Aside from Olave, the Saints really lack high-end playmakers on offense. The skill positions outside of their top two names offer them Rashid Shaheed, Cedrick Wilson Jr., Jamaal Williams, Juwan Johnson, Equanimeous St. Brown and, of course, Taysom Hill. That’s a good but not great group and it most likely won’t be elevated with Carr still in place at quarterback.

New Orleans will have a shot at competing for the NFC South title but aren’t Super Bowl contenders. Olave making a big leap shouldn’t be demanded — plenty of other positions/players should be expected to provide more — but would be very welcome in the Big Easy.
