Monday ProCanes Report: Wayne Makes History
ProCanes Recaps: Week 1
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- The Monday Morning ProCanes report will weed
through all the NFL highlights and news to bring you the information you care
about the most... what the former University of Miami Hurricanes did during the
week prior. Week Two of the NFL season was a
week of firsts for the newest batch of ProCanes: Miami Dolphins' rookie Lamar
Miller revisited one of his favorite destinations - the back of the Sun Life
Stadium endzone - while second-year wideout Leonard Hankerson hauled in the team's
longest pass of the day for his first career professional score. Most impressively, veteran Reggie Wayne placed his name first among the all-time ProCanes in his team's win over Minnesota.
Lamar Miller (Miami
Dolphins) - 10 carries, 65 yards, 1 touchdown
Though Reggie Bush's dominance helped propel the Fins to their first victory of
2012, Lamar Miller's 15-yard touchdown run helped seal their win over the Oakland
Raiders at Sun Life Stadium. Making his debut for the hometown team, Miller
scampered through a big hole with just over five minutes remaining in the game
to put Miami up for good. The former Killian standout drew praise from
teammates in his first professional game, finishing with a 6.5-yard average per
carry and a personal-best 19-yard run.

Career Touchdown
Leonard Hankerson (Washington
Redskins) - 2 catches, 68 yards, 1 touchdown
After failing to record a catch in Week One, second-year wideout Leonard
Hankerson showed off his speed and ability Sunday against St. Louis. The 2011
Redskins' draftee blew past the secondary on a play action reverse, as rookie
quarterback Robert Griffin III unleashed a 68-yard bomb to a wide-open
Hankerson for his first career score. Though the team ultimately fell on the
road by a final score of 31-28, Hankerson added his name to an ever-growing
list of talented Redskins' weapons for quarterback RGIII.

Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis
Colts) - 7 catches, 71 yards, 1 touchdown
After an impressive opening week, veteran Reggie Wayne hauled in his first big
touchdown catch from a quarterback not named Peyton Manning Sunday afternoon.
Rookie draft pick Andrew Luck connected with his 12th-year pro on a
30-yard strike just before halftime to give the Colts' a double-digit lead over
Minnesota. With his seven-catch performance, Wayne now ranks fifth in the
league with 15 catches and sixth in receiving yards (206). With his 71-yard
performance, Wayne passed fellow Hurricane legend Michael Irvin for 20th
all-time in receiving yards (11,914).

Score
Frank Gore (San Francisco 49ers) - 105 total yards, 89 rushing yards, 1 touchdown
San Francisco's veteran running back helped lead the home team to a victory
over Detroit on Sunday Night Football. Gore's one-yard touchdown plunge helped
build a 49ers' lead to start of the second quarter, while his big block on a 3rd-and-14
situation helped free up wide receiver Michael Crabtree for a 15-yard gain. Two
weeks into the season, the eighth-year veteran finds himself near the top of
the league leaderboards in yards (201, fourth), yards per game (100.5, fourth),
yards per attempt (6.1, fifth) and touchdowns (two, tied for third).

Line Score
Jimmy Graham (New Orleans Saints) - 7 catches, 71 yards, 1 touchdown
For the second consecutive week, the third-year tight end helped continue the
streak of eight-straight regular season weeks (and 157 of the past 158) with a
ProCanes' score. Though not as flashy as last week's touchdown, Graham helped
New Orleans convert a redzone opportunity with a one-yard grab from quarterback
Drew Brees. With the catch, Graham has now caught a touchdown pass in seven
straight games (including two postseason games), which served as the longest
active streak among all NFL pass-catchers.
