Colts' Hakeem Nicks: 'I view myself as the best receiver in the league'

Posted Oct 2, 2014
In an Indianapolis Colts locker room led by Reggie Wayne, Hakeem Nicks assessed his NFL standing this week. "I still view myself as the best receiver in the league," he said. The proclamation wasn't meant to slight the 14-year veteran dressing in the opposite corner of the room, but Nicks repeated it for effect. "That expectation ain't never going to change," he said. "I'll get a chance to prove it eventually." (Indianapolis Star)
