Saints sign 1st-round picks Chris Olave, Trevor Penning

The New Orleans Saints have signed four of their picks from the 2022 NFL draft, including a pair of first-round selections

The New Orleans Saints made it official with a handful of their draft picks Friday morning, signing four of their rookie selections to their rookie contracts.

Those signing their first pro deals Friday included the Saints’ pair of first-round picks, wide receiver Chris Olave and offensive tackle Trevor Penning.

Olave will give the Saints a much-needed No. 2 receiver to pair with veteran Michael Thomas, while Penning is expected to be the team’s starting left tackle, following the departure of Terron Armstead in free agency.
