Reginald Wayne[1] (born November 17, 1978) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver for 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Miami Hurricanes, and was selected by the Colts in the first round of the 2001 NFL draft with the 30th overall pick. A six-time Pro Bowl selection, Wayne was a member of the Colts' Super Bowl XLI. He ranks second in Colts' franchise history to Marvin Harrison in major receiving categories: receptions, receiving yards, targets, and receiving touchdowns. On December 14, 2014, Wayne played in both his 209th game and his 142nd win as a member of the Colts, breaking the franchise records set by Peyton Manning.[2]

Early life[edit]

Wayne is the youngest of three sons. His father, Ralph, is a former linebacker for Grambling State.[3][4] A New Orleans Saints fan in his youth, he was more interested in baseball growing up but chose football by the time he attended John Ehret High School.[5][6]

College career[edit]

Wayne attended the University of Miami, where he was a four-year starter for the Hurricanes.[7] He set a school record of 173 career catches (including 36 consecutive games with a reception).[8] He is one of only five wide receivers in school history to post 20 or more touchdowns in his career, along with Michael Irvin, Lamar Thomas, Leonard Hankerson, and Andre Johnson. Wayne's 48 receptions during the 1997 season set a school record for freshmen, which still stands today. Wayne also ran track and field at the University of Miami, where he recorded a personal best of 21.87 seconds in the 200 meters. Wayne graduated with a degree in liberal arts; his roommate was future Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed.[9][10] Wayne was also teammates with future Indianapolis Colts teammate Edgerrin James while at 'The U'.[11]

In the Divisional Round of the playoffs, Wayne had a receiving touchdown in the 28–24 loss to the San Diego Chargers.[67]

2008 season[edit]

Wayne opened the 2008 season with a receiving touchdown four of the Colts' first five games. In that stretch was an eight-catch, 118-yard, one-touchdown game against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6, a 31–3 victory.[68] In the 2008 season, Wayne posted a Pro Bowl season for the third consecutive year with 82 catches for 1,145 yards and six touchdowns.[69][70] He had a 65-yard score on the opening drive of Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.[71] In the Wild Card Round, he had 129 yards including a 72-yard touchdown, but the Colts lost in overtime, eliminated in the first round by the San Diego Chargers for the second consecutive year.[72]

In Super Bowl XLIV, Wayne had five catches for 46 yards, but the Colts lost to the New Orleans Saints 31–17.[81]

2010 season[edit]

Wayne playing against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010

In 2010, Wayne was second in the NFL receptions with 111 (a career-high), and third in receiving yards with 1,355.[82][83] During a season where the Colts heavily relied on Peyton Manning to win games, Wayne again cemented himself as one of the top receivers in the NFL. This included a franchise-record 15 receptions which he converted into 196 yards against Jacksonville in Week 4,[84] and 14 receptions for 200 yards in Week 13 against Dallas.[85] Wayne was selected to his fifth Pro Bowl and earned first team All-Pro honors for the first time.[86][87] He was ranked 31st by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2011.[88]

2011 season[edit]

Wayne's numbers were lower than usual in 2011 without Peyton Manning starting at quarterback, though he still led team in receptions (75) and receiving yards (960). He had four touchdown receptions as well.[89] He had three games going over the 100-yard mark on the year, including a season-high 122 against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12.[89][90]

2012 season[edit]

On March 13, 2012, the Colts re-signed Wayne to a three-year contract.[91] Wayne started off the season with nine receptions for 135 yards against the Chicago Bears.[92] Before the Colts' Week 5 matchup with the Green Bay Packers, the news of head coach Chuck Pagano's leukemia surfaced.[93] Wayne's history with Pagano goes back to his college years, where Pagano was the Hurricanes' defensive backs coach, and Pagano's hiring as the Colts' head coach was a large factor in Wayne's decision to re-sign with Indianapolis. In response, Wayne caught 13 passes for a career-high 212 receiving yards and a game-winning touchdown from rookie quarterback Andrew Luck;[94] Wayne earned the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award due to his performance, the first of his career.[95] In Week 12 against Buffalo Bills, Wayne broke Cris Carter's record of consecutive games with three or more receptions with 59 games. He also passed former Washington Redskins receiver Art Monk for 12th on the NFL's all-time receptions list during the first half.[96] In the 2012 season, Wayne had 106 receptions for 1,355 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns.[97] He was named to his sixth Pro Bowl.[98]

During the Wild Card Round against the Baltimore Ravens, Wayne had 114 yards on nine receptions and moved into second in career playoff catches with 92—59 behind leader Jerry Rice. However, the Colts lost the game, 24–9.[99] He was ranked 21st by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2013.[100]

Wayne was selected as the wide receiver for USA Football's 2012 All-Fundamentals Team, which honors 26 NFL players each year for executing the fundamentals of their position.[101]

2013 season[edit]

In the 2013 season, Wayne recorded five receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown against Jacksonville in Week 4, a 37–3 victory.[102] In a Week 6 loss to San Diego, Wayne became the ninth player to reach 1,000 career receptions.[103] However, a week later, Wayne tore his ACL; it was announced the next day that he would miss the remainder of the 2013 season. The injury also ended his consecutive games played streak at 189, the third-longest for a wide receiver in NFL history.[104]

2014 season[edit]

With the retirement of Tony Gonzalez, 36-year-old Wayne entered 2014 as the active leader in career receiving yards.[citation needed] He gained 98 more one receptions in a season-opening loss to the Denver Broncos, and 119 on seven receptions in Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans.[105][106] In Week 8, Wayne became the ninth receiver in NFL history to record 14,000 receiving yards.[107] He suffered an elbow injury in the game and missed the following week's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.[108] Near the conclusion of the Colts' 2014 season, it was announced that Wayne had played with a torn triceps since Week 6, which would require an offseason surgery to repair.[109] He finished the 2014 season with 64 receptions for 779 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.[110]

He had just one reception in the Colts' three post-season games, concluding his career with franchise records for postseason receptions (93);[111] receiving yards (1,254),[112] receiving touchdowns (9),[113] and games with 100+ yards receiving (3, shared with Dallas Clark and T. Y. Hilton).[114]

On March 6, 2015, the Colts announced that they would not re-sign Wayne, which made him a free agent on March 10.[115]

Retirement[edit]

On August 24, 2015, Wayne signed a one-year contract with the New England Patriots worth up to $3 million.[116][117] On September 5, 2015, Wayne requested and was granted his release from the Patriots.[118]

On January 15, 2016, after not playing the entire 2015 season, Wayne announced his retirement from professional football, saying, "It was fun, but it's time. It's just time. Whenever you can admit that you're done, you know you're done."[119] At the time of his retirement, he finished his NFL career 7th all-time in career receptions, 8th all-time in receiving yards, and 17th in career touchdown receptions.[120][121][122]

He and Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu are the only two finalists for 2020 to be nominated in their first year of eligibility.[125] As of 2021, Wayne has been nominated four times for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but has not yet been selected.[126]

For the 2021 NFL draft, Wayne joined Bleacher Report as a positional expert.[127] He applauded the Giants first round pick of Kadarius Toney. Wayne went on to compare him to Percy Harvin and called him the toughest wide receiver in the draft.[128]

On March 14, 2022, Wayne was hired as the wide receivers coach for the Colts.[129]

Personal life[edit]

In 2012, a hotel valet stole his luxury vehicle from an Indianapolis hotel where Wayne left his car. The valet was arrested standing outside the car with a blood alcohol content of .13 percent.[130]
