Wayne Ready For Camp

WR Reggie Wayne has accepted his role as the team's No. 1 receiver with pretty much his patented laid-back attitude.

After all, in recent years the Colts' tandem of Marvin Harrison and Wayne was one of the NFL's premier receiving duos. It was Harrison No. 1 with Wayne very close behind.

In fact, the former University of Miami standout led the Colts in receiving as he hauled in 87 passes for 1,145 yards and six touchdowns. Now with Harrison gone from the picture, Wayne is more than prepared to show that he is more than ready to carry even more of the team's receiving load.

"I'm going to approach it the same, nothing is going to change on my end. The only thing (is) I have to make sure I'm ready. Healthy and ready. I'm definitely that right now. I know they're (the defense) going to be keying on me and that's what it's all about. That's when I hope my teammates can help me out a little bit," he said recently.

One thing is certain. He expects to arrive at training camp in the best shape, physically, of his NFL career. And that's certainly saying something, considering that Wayne is annually one of the best conditioned players on the Colts' roster.

"Yes, I've been grinding. I've been getting it. I'm down at the University of Miami. Normally, it's 5:30 every morning, but I've moved it a little further, so now it's 6:30 every morning," he said.
