Saints Drafted Rookies’ 2022 NFL Season Recap | New Orleans Saints
A look at a few of the New Orleans Saints drafted rookies' first seasons in the NFL. Saints team reporter Erin Summers recaps their 2022 NFL regular season. In 15 games, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave finished with 72 receptions for 1,042 yards and four touchdowns, leading all rookies with 69.5 receiving yards per game. Olave impressed in his rookie campaign, posting over 1,000 receiving yards, and becoming only the third rookie in franchise history to accomplish the feat, joining Marques Colston (2006) and Michael Thomas (2016). He also finished the season as a finalist for the NFL's Rookie of the Year award.
In 13 games, New Orleans Saints defensive back Alontae Taylor proved to be a reliable player to have in the defensive backfield. He finished the season with 44 total tackles, 37 of which were solo, and he also added 11 passes defended. Taylor was drafted in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. Following injuries to cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore and Paulson Adebo, Taylor stepped in and showed what he was capable of, earning himself a spot in the rotation.
