Wayne Becomes Colts’ No. 1 Priority

Filed under: Colts, Super BowlFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — It is a flattering thing, said Indianapolis Colts receiver Reggie Wayne, this increased respect he has gained from defenses since supplanting Marvin Harrison this season as the Colts No. 1 receiver. He also labeled it one of those “grass-is-not-always-greener things.” The No. 2 receiver slot was cozy. The No. 1 slot, he has learned, can be suffocating. “I have seen a lot more special attention,” Wayne said, even though he caught 100 balls and earned 10 touchdown receptions during the regular season. “But I still don’t think that should take away from me having big games. I’m not too big on the decoy stuff, but that’s how it goes. I’ve helped our other guys get open. I need them to help me get open in this Super Bowl. It looks bright for me.” The Colts’ Super Bowl XLIV game plan, Wayne said, looks ripe for him to make this game another glorious chapter in his nine-season NFL career. He is back in the place where he spent his college days at the University of Miami. He is playing against his hometown team, the New Orleans Saints.
