New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was arrested on suspicion of reckless operation of a motor vehicle in Kenner, La., on Monday night.
In a statement, police in Kenner, located about 15 miles west of New Orleans, allege that Olave was driving 35 mph above the posted 35 mph speed limit. He did not resist arrest and was cooperative with law enforcement, according to multiple media outlets.
Olave reportedly was expected to be processed and released from jail Monday night.
Olave, 23, is in his second season with the Saints. Drafted 11th overall out of Ohio State in 2022, Olave posted 72 receptions for 1,042 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie before grabbing 39 balls for 471 yards and a score through seven games this season.
He caught seven passes for 57 yards in his most recent game, a 31-24 Saints loss to the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday.
