#24 Reggie Bush
Born: March 2, 1985
Coming in at 24 on our list, is the 24-year old former USC standout, Reggie Bush. The two-time college All-American had a difficult transition into the NFL after being drafted second by the Saints in 2006. In his rookie campaign Bush could best be defined as a double-edged sword. He was capable of making big plays and confusing opposing defenses, however, he was often caught running laterally behind the line of scrimmage looking for the homerun play down the sideline. Despite the roller coaster season, Bush totaled his career high eight touchdowns in just eight starts.
After adjusting to the NFL style of play, Bush has become a versatile weapon for the Saints, catching at least 50 passes each season, while averaging no less than 3.5 yards per carry. However, the last two seasons have been thwarted by knee injuries which forced bush to miss ten games during that span. With his explosive speed and superb field vision Reggie Bush has the potential to be an all-around threat for the Saints this year.
