A breakdown of what I saw from Trae Waynes at camp.
As some of you may know, I was able to make it down to Mankato and cover the training camp practices on August 2nd, 3rd and 4th. A top priority of mine coming in was to put rookie cornerback and first round pick Trae Waynes under a microscope and see how he is faring. Surprisingly, nearly all of Wayne's snaps in 11 on 11s came from the slot cornerback position with the 2nd team defense. While this will almost certainly not be his position in the long run, it does make sense that Zimmer has been playing him here as it gives him a better sense of what the defense is doing as a unit.
