Reginald Alfred Bush II

Born:
March 2, 1985

At USC Reggie Bush
was nicknamed "The President" due to the American President with a
similar family name at that time.
He played running
back/tailback, wide receiver, and punt and kickoff returner for the
team.
A hard working skill
player, Bush has homerun hitting speed and can produce in a variety of
ways. May not be a back for everyone due to limited size yet can be
very productive in a friendly scheme.

2,890 total yards. Rushed for 1,740 yards on 200 carries, for an
eye-popping 8.7 yards per carry and 16 touchdowns. Gained over 100
yards eight times during 2005. Bush added 37 catches for 478 yards and
two touchdowns for an average of 12.9 yards per reception. Also

All-American by the Associated Press and many others. Bush's eighteen
touchdowns came after plays averaging 31.4 yards.
Bush's
selection by the New Orleans Saints in the NFL draft
generated excitement and celebration among New Orleans
Saints fans. By the end of the week after the draft, Reebok
reported receiving over 15,000 orders for Bush's Saints
jersey, even though his jersey number with the Saints had
not yet been determined.
Bush's rookie
season had both ups and downs, although as the season wore
on, he became more productive and integral to the Saints'
surprising success. In the first game of Bush's NFL career,
he amassed 141 total yards against the Cleveland Browns.
