Trae Waynes was the first defensive back selected in the 2015 NFL draft, and he is the proud owner of a four-year, $12.944 million contract with the Vikings. But the rookie hasn't lost any of his innocence.
"He follows me on Twitter, and that was a pretty big deal," Waynes said of Patrick Peterson.
Waynes long has admired the star Arizona Cardinals cornerback, but never has met him. That should change later this month.
Waynes is scheduled to work out with Peterson in Boca Raton, Fla., after the Vikings' June 16-18 mandatory minicamp and before players are scheduled to report to training camp July 25 in Mankato.
