Wide Receiver · New Orleans Saints

Chris Olave

No. 12 · 5th season

First time on the list, and Olave didn't have to ask for anyone's attention

The NFL Top 100 is voted on by the players themselves. No front office, no media panel — the people who line up across from you every Sunday. Getting on it for the first time means someone in an opposing locker room put your name down.

Olave has been building toward a moment like this quietly. A wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints, he came into the league with the kind of talent that made people pay attention early — but being noticed by peers is a different currency than being noticed by fans.

This year, he cracked the list at No. 64. First career appearance. The players voted him in.

That number will move. Up or down depends on what comes next in New Orleans, and there's real work ahead. But the door opened from the inside, which is the only way it counts.
