A pair of New Orleans Saints playmakers were listed in the top 100 most valuable players of the 2022 season by ESPN’s Seth Walder, and their inclusion shouldn’t surprise anyone. Rookie wide receiver Chris Olave made an instant impact on the Saints offense this year, and veteran linebacker Demario Davis continued to show off what makes him special.
It’s just the latest bright light to shine on their performance, which is a welcome silver lining after what ended up being a very difficult season to sit through. Olave is a finalist for the NFL’s Rookie of the Year award, and he’s a betting favorite for recognition as the Offensive Rookie of the Year. Davis was selected for the Pro Bowl for the first time in his NFL career, and he again earned a spot on the AP All-Pro list.
