New England Patriots star Reggie Wayne has revealed that he feels like a rookie after joining the organisation this summer.

The 36-year-old spent 13 years with the Indianapolis Colts, but opted for a change of scenery this off-season by joining New England.

"Like a rookie," Wayne said, according to the Boston Herald, when asked how he feels with his new teammates.

"They are throwing a lot at me right now. I am not getting very much sleep. I feel like a rookie all over again."

Wayne could play in the season opener, as Julian Edelman is struggling with a leg injury while Brandon LaFell is suffering from a foot problem.
