Scouting Report: Strengths

• A savvy, natural pass-catcher with reliable hands and very good focus. Snatches the ball out of the air and shows the concentration to make acrobatic catches look easy.
• More impressive than his overall speed is his burst. Olave demonstrates an ability to slide past defensive backs at the line of scrimmage.
• He has some of the best hands in the country at wide receiver, which will serve him well in the pros.
• Fluid athlete with explosive burst and speed to stretch the field and breeze past defenders. Has a quick first step and gets to top speed in a hurry.
• An impressive athlete with very quick acceleration to reach his top speed quickly and stretch the field. Very good body control and smooth movements
• Has elite balance tight-roping the sideline and in-and-out of his breaks, showing excellent start-stop ability and burst.
• Often used on deep routes, getting separation down the sideline or over the middle on crossing routes by extending his arms rather than pure speed.
• Olave showcases impressive football intelligence and awareness. He does an amazing job of finding soft spots in opposing defenses.
• Very impressive athlete - as a junior Olave ran a 10.8-second 100-meter time while leaping to an impressive 23’6″ in the long jump. Backed this up at the combine where he ran an official 4.39 in the 40
• Has the strong hands any NFL wide receiver coach and quarterback would covet. Tracks the deep ball over either shoulder and brings in passes fluidly without breaking stride downfield.
