Reggie Wayne shows up to Colts camp in... a dump truck?

With Marvin Harrison gone from the roster, WR Reggie Wayne is now the undisputed "go to" guy for Peyton Manning and the Colts offense. Many could successfully argue that Wayne is a top 5 WR; maybe top 3 if you value consistent production and playing well in the clutch.

Yet, despite Wayne's assention, he does not seem to have strayed too far from what it takes to become great in this league: Hard work.

To prove his point (or, so it seems), Reg showed up to Terre Haute, Indiana today in time for the 2009 Colts training camp in... a rented dump truck. He also wore a road-worker vest and a construction hat which reads "Reggie Wayne Construction."

Per usual, Reg is making a statement, and doing so in dramatic fashion... with a dash of humor sprinkled in. Welcome to the 2009 season, folks.

Love Reggie

Stuff like this is great. Always keeps the eye on the prize, a championship, but with a grin. Great player and person, and the perfect model for all of the young, talented receivers the Colts now have.

Love

I freaking LOVE this f’ing team! Love. I posted on facebook the other day something like this, "I can watch a hundred sad or happy or emotional movies without shedding a tear but as soon as I put on the Colts 2006 DVD (which i do about once a month), I tear up and do so at atleast 5 different moments.

This is the only Wide Receiver stunt that I approve

T.O. with his Sharpie and popcorn box and Ocho Stinko with is faux Hall of Fame jacket were just stupid and egostical just like them, but Reggie’s stunt was pretty cool; and it shows us that he wants to show the young guys how important work hard is in the NFL. Man, I love this team :-) !!!

Reggie leaves this stuff off the field, where it belongs.

And that is why he’s never in the media for the wrong reasons. ;-)

I wish Reggie would get more press

He’s a very funny dude with a great personality. I loved his interview after the Thursday night game against the Jags last season…it was pretty funny.

He's very Clinton Portis esque.

Probably because they were college teammates, haha.

Love the theme

Now this is how you show up to camp!!! With hard work on your mind before you even step through the parking lot. Finally, my life feels complete again

I'd donate a kidney in exchange for Pdiddy and my colts to get 2 more Super Bowl rings...That's LUV

Great quote from Reggie,

When asked what position Peyton holds at Wayne Construction Co. Reggie replied: Janitor.

Classic

Hmm, I wonder if Peyton will look for Gonzo more after Reggie’s comment? lol

Well I don't know about that but,

The news cameras at camp showed Peyton getting into a car and driving off. Guess who was driving? Gonzo!

You gotta love Reggie Wayne… hard worker, all business on the field, and obviously has a sense of humor.

When was the last time

You saw a star wide receiver pull a big stunt, and it wasn’t about how great he is or how he needs the ball 200 times? When Reggie goes big, he goes big for hard-nosed work and team togetherness.

God I love the Colts.

gOING To WorK

Great statement Reggie. I just hope the trash that is piled up in the back of that truck is from the dis-likes of the Patriots, 1 hit wonder Titans and the Jags. Let’s make it happen this year….
