Saints Training Camp Updates: Day 7, July 31st

If we’re being honest, I don’t ever see Olave being more than average at contested catches and it’s because he only has a 32inch vert and 31 inch arms.

Football is a game of inches.

Conversely, someone like Aiyuk, same height has 33inch arms, and a 40inch vert. I’m betting those extra inches gives him the ability to get to, catch and secure passes quicker b4 a hand can disrupt the play.

I do think he can unlock more RAC in his game. Don’t think Payton’s scheme was well designed for that and they didnt try to get him the ball on those plays either.
