Chris Olave named NFL Rookie of The Year Finalist

Chris Olave certainly made his presence felt in his first year with the New Orleans Saints. After trading up to grab the rookie receiver from Ohio State University the idea was to pair Olave with veterans Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry with Olave and form a pretty impressive trio at the receiver position. Injuries ruined that dream as Thomas and Landry both ended the season on the injured reserve list and forced the rookie to quickly take over as the team's first option. Not only did Olave play well enough, but he exceeded expectations and quickly showed the Saints and the NFL he can be that guy.
