Player Information: Reggie Bush is considered by many as a once in a lifetime player. Although it's doubtful that any other team besides the Houston Texans will be able to draft him, several teams may be willing to give up a lot in order to take the electrifying young runner. When you draft Young you not only get a runner, you get a receiver and a kick returner. He was the Heisman trophy winner this year ahead of Matt Leinart and Vince Young.

Bush is the ultimate package. He has great speed, quickness, instincts, and vision. He can power through several tackles at once, fighting for every last yard. Bush is one of those runners that in college, could turn what appeared to be a normal handoff into a long touchdown run. His ability to change directions and make defenders miss may force opposing defenses to overpursue on Bush, opening up the passing game. He is most effective when he bounces runs to the outside due to his quickness, but he does a decent job running through the defensive line as well. Bush carried a fair load in college, but also had to split time with LenDale White, who may be the second best back in the nation. Bush has never carried the ball more than 25 times in a single game, which leaves the question open of whether or not he can "get stronger" as a game goes on. On a team like the Texans, he will not have a great offensive line and will have to adjust to the quicker defenders in the league.

If Bush is not the first overall pick in the draft, then it will shock almost everyone. The Texans are going to select him unless someone wants to trade up and makes an offer than they can simply not refuse.
