Salute to one of the all-time greatest Colts ever - Reggie Wayne! Learned so much from him on the field, in practice, and in the lockerroom.

"Honored to tell my future kids I was locker mates with a football great for three seasons," Vick Ballard wrote in the caption that accompanied his Instagram. "Hate to see you go bro. #Legendary #respect"
Reggie Wayne is the type of player every guy in the locker room can learn from. A pros pro, a champ & a future HOFer. #Salute2Greatness #87
