Nothing finalized, but would be a big addition to Frank Reich’s staff. - — Zak Keefer (@zkeefer) February 25, 2022 - - - While this would be the first time Wayne enters the NFL as an official coach, it wouldn’t be the first time he’s held a role like this in a similar manner. - The franchise leader in games played helped the Colts out during training camp in 2018. He certainly has the desire to enter the coaching sphere but admitted at the time it was all about timing. - - Reggie Wayne was a volunteer coach for the Colts during training camp in 2018, and when asked about going into coaching fulltime, said this: “I enjoyed it.
