METAIRIE, La. -- Sometimes less is more.
That's the case for New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, whose 23 catches ranks fourth on the team. Shaheed's 20.8 yards per catch, however, leads the NFL and almost doubles the average yardage of the Saints' leaders in receptions -- wideouts Chris Olave (11.8) and Michael Thomas (11.6).
"That boy is good," Olave said. "Ain't nobody like him. I mean, he's so fast, so quick and he can run routes too. I'm excited for his future. He's a special player. I know he don't get too many opportunities like me and Mike.
