Played in 36 games over three seasons with Spartans, starting 27. Had one year of eligibility remaining. Was defensive recipient of Michigan State's Jim Adams Award (unsung hero). Had three interceptions and 46 tackles in 2014. Started all 13 games in 2013 and played in nine games in 2012 as a redshirt freshman.

At Bradford High School in Kenosha: All-state in football as a senior despite missing three games because of injuries. All-county in baseball as an outfielder, and was third in the 100 meters (10.85 seconds) at the 2011 Division I state track and field meet.

Did you know? Waynes and Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon were teammates at Bradford High School. Carmen Gordon, Melvin's mother, told ESPN this about Waynes, "He's like my son, too." They are the fifth set of high school teammates to be taken in the first round of the same draft.

NFL Network's Mike Mayock: "He's a little bit stiff, but most of those long guys are. He's got great speed and he comes from a college program where they tackle and are held accountable. He is clean on and off the field."

And finally: Waynes' parents, Erin and Ron, are middle-school counselors. "[The NFL] was never our agenda in raising him," Ron Waynes told the Chicago Tribune. "Don't tell me about the pros, tell me what degree you want to get. And we put him in everything — piano, swimming, drums, wrestling, basketball, soccer, cross-country. Our thing was just be a good person."
