Reggie Wayne, in what had become a cleared-out locker room at that point, gradually was making his way out when it was mentioned to him that he has every right to tell the non-believers, “I told you so,” in his ability to return from a torn ACL at the age of 35.
Wayne, with a grin that could have easily lit up the room, looked and said, "I just play.”
Not that Wayne had anything to http://www.coltsonlineofficialstore.com/Coby-Fleener-Jersey prove -- he did that in Week 1 against Denver -- but he showed yet again that his skillset hasn’t diminished on a play in the third quarter of the Indianapolis Colts' 41-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
With Wayne lined up on the outside, quarterback Andrew Luck threw to his receiver’s back shoulder, causing him to adjust his body to make the reception and beat Titans cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson to the pylon for the touchdown.
“As I’m running, one thing I know, a defender, whenever we’re side by side and they’re looking back for the ball, I know they’re going to play hands,” Wayne said. “Andrew threw the ball and it was kind of like a back shoulder throw so I wanted to wait until the last second to stick my hands out. He did a great job of delivering the ball. The rest was just doing what I’m paid to do and that’s catch the ball.”
Wayne is no longer the player who will have catch-and-run 75-yard touchdowns. He knows it and has no problem admitting it.
What Wayne is, though, is http://www.coltsonlineofficialstore.com/Erik-Walden-Jersey reliable. He studies film like few others where he’s able to use his smarts and precision route running to make up for he doesn't have in the speed department anymore.
That’s why he finished with seven catches for 119 yards and a touchdown against a Titans’ defense that was second in the league against the pass.
