The '2K-receiving-yards in 1st two seasons' quiz

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has yet to make a Pro Bowl in his four-year NFL career. But with 1,000-yard campaigns in three of his four professional seasons, the Saints have seen enough to keep him around for the long haul with a four-year, $132 million contract extension. 

The former Ohio State Buckeye had reported to training camp, but was holding in until a deal was completed. Now, he’ll officially be the Saints WR1 as they hope to see continued improvement from young quarterback Tyler Shough. 

After a scary concussion limited Olave to just eight games in 2024, the former 11th-overall NFL Draft pick returned to record his most productive season of his career – setting personal bests in receptions (100), receiving yards (1,163) and touchdown catches (9). In an NFC South that had no teams finish with a winning record in 2025, a healthy Olave and a progressing Shough could turn the Saints into darkhorse competitors for a playoff spot.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Olave is one of 43 players in NFL history to combine for at least 2,000 receiving yards in their first two seasons. How many of those players can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
