Kellen Moore gets a lot of credit for his past work with running backs, and when your resume includes Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley, that will draw most of the attention. However, Moore quietly also has a strong list of wide receivers on his resume that should have New Orleans Saints excited for what Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson can become.
Moore's rushing attack has been the highlight of his past offenses, but he's had some really successful wide receiver and wide receiver stories. You could make an argument Moore oversaw Amari Cooper's best season of his career during his first full season in Dallas, and Moore helped CeeDee Lamb grow into a bonafide No. 1 and All-Pro player.
Moore worked with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in Philadelphia, but it's only so much production you're getting out of the running back when the running back goes for 2000 yards. Keenan Allen had a career high in yards per game and catches under Moore and likely would have set career highs in touchdowns and total yards if he hadn't gotten hurt. That was late in Allen's career.
Kellen Moore could add Chris Olave and Jordyn Tyson to his resume
Olave is already shown some of the benefits of Moore's Midas touch. Saints fans saw the best version of the receiver. The biggest improvement he made was getting into the end zone. Olave’s 9 touchdown catches last year nearly tied his career total.Â
The result was Olave’s first All Pro. Still, there feels like there’s more room to grow for the young player. He’s already seen the Kellen Moore effect and more could be on the way.Â
Tyson, on the other hands, hasn’t taken an NFL snap. If the Moore effect strikes again, the Saints receiving corps could be deadly. We saw something similar to this in Dallas. The Cowboys already had Cooper then brought in Lamb.
The Saints' hope is to keep the veteran and develop the young player into a dynamic weapon. If it happens immediately, the Saints could be one of the best passing attacks in the league. The Cowboys were top-10 in yards in both years Lamb and Cooper played together.
Tyson and Olave have the potential to do the same thing. After an offseason catered towards building the team's offensive supporting cast, being top-10 in passing yards would make the offseason a clear success.
