New Orleans Saints first-round pick Chris Olave built strong list of dos, don'ts

Brian Hartline can rattle off the dos as quickly as anyone.
But ask him about receiver Chris Olave, the first of the New Orleans Saints' two first-round draft picks in the 2022 NFL Draft, and Hartline – Olave's receivers coach at Ohio State from 2018-21 – is just as interested in checking off the don'ts for the No. 11 overall pick.

"Sometimes the best way to describe somebody is not what they can do, but what they don't do," said Hartline, who this season ascended to the role of passing game coordinator and receivers coach at Ohio State. "And frankly, there's really nothing Chris can't do. So that kind of sums it up.
"It's not about what is he great at – he's great at playing football. It didn't really matter the job description. His high-point ability is great, ball tracking on the field is great, his route running ability is great. Over and over again, you're going to find a lot of things he can do. Outside of bringing him into the box and blocking (Hall of Fame linebacker) Ray Lewis, that's probably the one thing he wouldn't do well.
"But outside of that, I think you have a full, complete player."
