Boy's dream to meet Reggie Wayne comes true

INDIANAPOLIS - A 9-year-old boy's life-long dream to meet Colts WR Reggie Wayne finally came true Tuesday night.

For one year and 10 days, Dylan Eickhoff has worn a No. 87 Colts jersey to school, practice and even to bed.

"We had a family wedding and he wore a bow tie around the jersey," one family member said.

Dylan wore the jersey in hopes of catching the attention of his favorite player, Reggie Wayne.

"There was this one kid who wore a Brett Favre jersey and got to meet Brett Favre. I was going to do the same with Reggie Wayne," he said.

The jersey has certainly seen its better days, but that didn't stop Dylan from meeting his idol.

"It's got holes in the back," he said.

Dylan stumbled as he walked up to meet Wayne, who was equally gracious.

"That's what it's all about; just seeing Dylan come in with a smile on his face," Wayne said.

While many predict this will be Wayne's last season, Dylan thinks otherwise.

He's predicting we'll see No. 87 on the field for at least another two or three years.
