What are we really expecting from Olave in year 3?

He's not pretty excellent at it by far even for his size. In 2023 Out of 25 Contested catches he's caught 10 of them, good for 40%. For comparisons sake Rashid Shaheed had 9 and caught 5 for 55.6%. The year prior it was 8 out of 24 for 33.3%. Is that really improvement?

Oh, wow. Good to know. I didn't look at stats, felt like an eye test thing for me, particularly vertically. Felt like if it's 1 on 1 downfield, he's coming up with it more than he's not. I will acknowledge that short and intermediately he's disappointed in that area (which makes sense because DBs can be a little more sticky and physical in that range and he isn't big/strong)

And uh, just for the sake of being cheeky, yes.. 40% is an improvement over 33.3% 😅
