When you’ve made it to NFL stardom — or at least headed that way — you get to do some things we mere mortals can only dream of. Take former Ohio State, now turned New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave. Shortly after becoming a first-round NFL draft pick, he got to throw out the first pitch at a San Diego Padres game over the weekend. And yeah, I’m feeling good about me never getting a sniff at that one.
Olave is from the San Diego area, so it makes sense that the Padres tapped him on the shoulder to do it on Sunday when the organization asked him to get things going for a home game against the Miami Marlins on Sunday.
If you didn’t catch it, no worries because we’ve got it for you thanks to video shared by the Ohio State Football Twitter account.

By the looks of it, Olave is much better at catching footballs than throwing fastballs, and the Saints aren’t upset about that at all. You shouldn’t be either.
