Reggie Wayne Says Colts Rookie Josh Downs 'Was the Best Receiver at the Combine'

Reggie Wayne knows a little bit about being a star receiver in Indianapolis and apparently sees that potential in rookie third-round pick Josh Downs.

"I thought he was the best receiver at the combine," Wayne told Fox59.

Downs put up monster numbers during his career at North Carolina, racking up 195 receptions for 2,364 yards and 19 touchdowns over his last two seasons in Chapel Hill. He impressed at the combine with a 4.48-second time in the 40-yard dash and 38.5-inch vertical leap but nevertheless fell to the third round in large part due to size limitations.
