Former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne had many fruitful years with Peyton Manning. From an on the field perspective, Wayne knows Manning about as well as anybody.
Appearing on the NFL Network’s Sunday morning preview show NFL Gameday Morning, Reggie Wayne provides some insight into what “Omaha” means.
Finally, we have an answer to what the most famous cadence in football is actually all about.
“Omaha means he’s going the other way,” said Wayne.
“That’s what it means. If it’s run to the right, he’s going left. If it’s dive right, Omaha means it’s going to be dive left.”
Watch the video of Reggie Wayne making the big reveal here at this link. Wayne also went on to say that Omaha will now mean something completely different going forward.
So saying it with me one last time “OMAHA!!”
