Picked on to pickoffs marks Trae Waynes’ progress with Vikings
In three seasons, Waynes has evolved from underwhelming rookie first-round pick to the most improved player on the defense. He faces the toughest test of his career Sunday against Drew Brees and his cast of receivers. “[Waynes] is playing lights out,” safety Harrison Smith said. “I just don’t think he’s gotten quite enough love [in outside praise]. You obviously have Xavier and everybody knows how good he is. When you get Trae playing the way he’s playing, it’s hard to throw it around.”
