10. Reggie Wayne
To many, Reggie Wayne was the Robin to Marvin Harrison’s Batman. In a lot of ways, though, the Colts just had two Batmen playing receiver. It took a couple years for Wayne to become a go-to target in the Colts offense, but when he did, he took them to the next level.
He caught 77 passes for over 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns in Peyton Manning’s record-breaking 2004 season, and followed it up with 83 catches in 2005. Wayne earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2006, catching 86 passes for over 1,300 yards and nine touchdowns. He made five consecutive Pro Bowls from 2006-10.
In 2007, he led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,510, along with 104 catches and 10 touchdowns. When Peyton Manning was released and left for Denver, Wayne continued his success and became Andrew Luck’s favorite target. He caught a career-high 106 passes in 2012 for over 1,300 yards and made his sixth, and final, Pro Bowl.
Wayne retired with 1,070 receptions and over 14,000 receiving yards. It’s only a matter of when, not if, he will get into the Hall of Fame. Expect it to be sooner than later.
