Reginald Wayne (born November 17, 1978) is a former American football wide receiver who spent his entire 14-year career with the Indianapolis Colts. He played college football for the University of Miami, and was drafted by the Colts in the first round (30th overall) of the 2001 NFL Draft. A six-time Pro Bowl selection, Wayne was a member of the Colts' Super Bowl XLI championship team that beat the Chicago Bears. He ranks seventh all-time in NFL career receptions, ninth all-time in NFL receiving yards, and 23rd all-time in career touchdown receptions. On December 14, 2014, Wayne played in both his 209th game and his 142nd win as a Colt, breaking the franchise records set by Peyton Manning.
Wayne is the youngest of three sons. His father Ralph is a former linebacker for Grambling State. 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.
Wayne attended the University of Miami, where he was a four-year starter for the Miami Hurricanes football team. He set a school record of 173 career catches (including 36 consecutive games with a reception) and 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. His 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 Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed.
