Are you ready? The New Orleans Saints probably didn't believe they would have a chance to acquire Reggie Bush until two days before the draft, but it happened. And now, after a small holdout, Bush is ready to play. The Saints signed the second overall pick in the draft to a six-year deal. Bush was the only draft pick that had not signed from the Saints, and had alredy missed the first three training camp practices.

Last year as a junior for USC, Bush ran for 1,740 yards, with a total of 2,890 all-purpose yards. He caught 37 passes for 478 yards. Want to know what's scary about that? LenDale White, Bush's backup at USC, actually split time with Bush often, and Bush still put up those numbers.

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 Bush, 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.
