Reggie Bush
 Position:
Running Back
School: USC
Status: Junior
Height: 6-0 (Standing on a box)
Weight: 200 (Soaking wet with rocks in his pockets)
Positives:
Quite possibly the best overall prospect in the draft, Reggie Bush has
unbelievable agility and the God-given ability to simply make defenders miss
with his athletic cuts and elusive running style. He is a playmaker and a
triple threat: running back, wide receiver, and return man.
He is an explosive player that will draw immense attention from defenses and
still find ways to gain yards. Bush has a nose for the end zone and carries
a great work ethic from his coaches. He won’t back down from the limelight
and seems to shine brighter when the situation gets tougher.
Negatives:
Bush has played with an amazing quarterback and supporting cast his entire
career, which takes much of the defensive pressure off of him. He has had
some past knee injuries, but nothing too serious. Many scouts wonder if Bush
is durable enough to withstand the hits of the NFL and be an every down
back.
Overview:
Reggie Bush is a phenomenal player with special attributes rarely seen.
Analysts have compared Bush as the one of the best all around football
players to come out of college since Marshall Faulk and Barry Sanders.
Although only a junior, Bush has the experience, ability, and knowledge to
be a starter at the next level and make a firm impact in no time. Will go in
the top three picks barring something crazy. |
He's
a political science major at USC. His nickname is "The President" (because of
that, he humorously was singled out in remarks by President George W. Bush
during USC's national championship visit to the White House in March of 2004).
He covered the 2003 Super Bowl as a reporter for NFLHS.com.
