INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Reggie Wayne is closer to the end of his NFL career than the beginning.

And with three catches, he will pass Isaac Bruce for No. 7 on the NFL's reception list.
"That just means you've been around a while," Wayne said with a grin. "(The records) mean a lot, man. At the end of the day, to accomplish any of those kinds of records, or accolades, you've got to be around and available.
