New Orleans Saints wideout Chris Olave was arrested in Louisiana on Monday Night for reckless operation of a motor vehicle.

Police in Kenner, Louisiana said Olave, 23, was going 70 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone, according to ESPN's Katherine Terrell. The Saints' practice facility is located in nearby Metairie, Louisiana.

The team told ESPN that it is aware of the situation but didn't comment.

In his second season out of Ohio State, Olave leads New Orleans in targets (68), receptions (39) and receiving yards (473), with one touchdown. Olave was the No. 11 overall pick in 2022.

The Saints (3-4) face the Indianapolis Colts (3-4) on the road in Week 8.
