There's no doubting the work ethic of veteran WR Reggie Wayne of the Colts. Seemingly all systems go after last October's torn ACL, Wayne's recovery was tabbed last week by coach Chuck Pagano as "really incredible," with the 35-year-old pass-catcher -- per The Indianapolis Star -- "effortlessly snatching passes out of the air" ahead of his 14th NFL campaign. "As far as the rehab part, I've ran every route. Either it was here in Indiana, in Indianapolis or it was down in Miami," Wayne recently told the team's official website. "I've grabbed coaches and trainers down at the University of Miami and I've said, 'Alright, I know you wanted to be a DB at some point in your life, this is your chance to do it.' They did their best and I've done everything I wanted to do. I've run every route and there is nothing that's holding me back. "There's nothing that's keeps me from doing whatever it is they want me to do so I'm here. Knock on wood I stay on top of this and keep going from there."
The news on Wayne comes just in time for the Colts as it appears WR Hakeem Nicks is struggling a bit. It looks like Wayne is the WR2 behind T.Y. Hilton, and in 3WR sets Wayne will line up in the slot according to recent observations at Colts camp. Wayne's comeback is impressive, but he's yet to be on the field in the game so probably fair to temper expectations. Wayne is ranked 39th on our list but his ADP is aabout a round higher than those around him, so he's an attractive target so far in drafts. Wayne will be held out of the team's Thursday preseason game, but is expected to see game action before the start of the season.
