Chris Olave was the New Orleans Saints’ highest graded offensive player for the 2025 season, according to Pro Football Focus, a Cincinnati, Ohio-based analytics company used by NFL teams.
Olave’s grade of 78.0 led the Saints offense and ranked 20th among NFL receivers that played 50 percent of their team’s snaps in the 2025 season.
Olave enjoyed the best season of his five-year NFL career in 2025, leading the Saints with 100 catches for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns.
A PFF grade of 78.0 is considered above average to good. It typically reflects a player in the upper tier of starters during a given season.
The PFF grading scale considers players at 90-or-above as elite, 85-89.9 as Pro Bowl level, 70-84.9 as starter level, 60-69.9 as average or backup-up level and below 60 as below average or replacement level.
Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough was the second highest graded player at 74.6. His grade ranked 15th overall among quarterbacks with 50 percent of their team’s snaps but was best among rookie quarterbacks. Jaxson Dart of the New York Giants (68.4) and Cam Ward of the Tennessee Titans (58.5) were next.
Shough’s 2025 draft classmate, left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., had a grade of 73.3, making him the only other Saints offensive player to play half or more of the team’s 1,075 snaps and record a grade of 70.0 or higher this season. Banks led the offense with 1,066 snaps played.
Devaughn Vele (72.7) and Spencer Rattler (70.0) had starter-level grades, while falling just short of the 50 percent snap minimum.
Running backs Audric Estime and Kendre Miller had grades of 75.8 and 74.0 but played just 181 and 113 snaps, respectively.
Guard Dillon Radunz was the lowest graded offensive player at 48.5. Alvin Kamara and Cesar Ruiz were next at 51.7 and 55.1, respectively.
Overall, the Saints offense ranked 27th in the league with a grade of 67.8. The Los Angeles Rams offense graded the highest at 96.1, while the Cleveland Browns were the lowest at 55.6.
