It hasn't been talked about much but do you notice on some of those pass catches where Olave has "slow hands" ?

Meaning he waits until the last possible second before extending his arms for a catch. Essentially he tricks the defenders. It's either a completion/td or pass INT.

Olave with the high football IQ.

Again, he checked a lot of boxes as a pass-catcher leading up to the draft.

It's a great talent to put your hands up at the last second to snatch a pass. If memory serves me correctly, Shockey could pull that off well. Thomas can do it, too.

Lots of NFL receivers never learn to be able to do that. I can't remember who said it, but they said they learned how to do that from Marvin Harrison AFTER they made the NFL.

Edit: I believe it may have been Reggie Wayne.
