Colts WR Coach Reggie Wayne Sees Alec Pierce ‘Getting Better And Better’

“I’m still trying to figure out how he caught that,” Wayne said.

In Pierce, Wayne sees a young player who’s “great at 50/50 balls” and “has one of the best sets of hands on the team,” he said. Wayne sees folks underrating Pierce’s speed, too. And his mentality is a good fit in the Colts’ wide receiver room, too.

“He’s tough, and I think that’s what a lot of people don’t understand,” Wayne said. “He’s tough. And that’s what I like about him. He kind of adds another dimension to the room.”

So while Pierce still has plenty on which to work, he’s made steady progress throughout training camp. And Wayne, one of the greatest receivers in franchise history who shared a wide receiver room with Marvin Harrison – another one of the greatest receivers in franchise history –

“He’s got a long way to go but he’s definitely a sponge,” Wayne said. “I enjoy coaching him every day, I enjoy being around him.”
