Reggie Wayne feels like a rookie with the Patriots

At 36 years old, New England Patriots wide receiver Reggie Wayne is hardly a rookie.

However, he has much to learn in order to get up to speed with the Patriots’ playbook. Wayne described his experience thus far in New England, noting he feels like a rookie:

“Like a rookie,” Wayne said, per the Boston Herald. “They’re throwing a lot at me right now. I’m not getting very much sleep. I feel like a rookie all over again.”

The veteran has been hard at work with his head buried in the offensive playbook, which features an Erhardt-Perkins scheme that requires plenty of work from the receivers.
