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."
