New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was arrested on Monday night. Footage of the arrest shows he tried to play the athlete card.

Olave was apprehended by authorities in Kenner, Louisiana for suspicion of reckless operation of a motor vehicle after he was caught traveling double the speed limit. The 23-year-old’s Dodge Charger was said to be “recklessly maneuvering between lanes” while traveling at a high rate of speed.

Footage of the arrest acquired by TMZ Sports showed Olave’s interaction with the police officer.

Olave appeared to be cooperative and explained that he was just trying to get home. But he also slipped in that he played for the Saints. It’s safe to say that the flex did not impress the arresting officer.

“My bad, dog. I play for the Saints, man,” Olave told the officer.

“And?” the officer responded.

The Saints drafted Olave 11th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. He tallied seven catches for 57 yards in New Orleans’ Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last Thursday. He has 39 catches for 471 yards and one touchdown this season.
