Two sets of eyes were peeled and primed to locate and apprehend Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes on the field as Wednesday’s practice ended and 90 players began to scatter.
But, poof, he was gone. In about the time it takes the Road Runner to go “meep, meep,” Waynes had slipped into the locker room unnoticed.
Geez, this dude might really be the fastest player on the roster.
“I think so,” he said from just inside the locker room door. “Either me or Jeff Badet.”
The two of them participated in the inaugural “40 yards of Gold” competition, a pay-per-view event hyped and hosted by former NFL receiver Chad Johnson in late June.
