Patriots wide receiver Reggie Wayne is ready to prove the doubters wrong
New England Patriots wide receiver Reggie Wayne battled injuries all last season, but he is ready to show the world what he is capable of when he is healthy.
“I think I have enough to play,” Wayne said, via MassLive.com. “Like you said, if I didn’t think I had enough, I wouldn’t be here. One thing I don’t do is worry about what people have to say. If I didn’t play at all, if I decided to retire, they still would have something to say … The only thing I can do is let my work speak for myself. I know what I can do, what I can bring to the table. Just got to get caught up and get on the same [page] as everybody and be able to show what I can do. Whoever the naysayers are, watch me work.”
Last year Reggie Wayne put up 779 yards and two touchdowns, but he was banged up.
“I want to win, point blank,” Wayne told reporters on Tuesday, per ESPN.com’s Mike Reiss, one day after inking a deal with the Patriots worth up to nearly $3 million.
