Reggie Bush was an electric all-around player who can be a pass-catcher, run the ball as a speedy back. He was the best receiving back as well as a return specialist. He was my favorite player for the Saints.
He was ahead of his time. Reggie was the first player I can remember that could of been a NFL Wide Receiver if he didn’t play RB. I think Reggie Bush has helped Kamara and McCaffrey’s career he was the first weapon that had plays that were designed to get him in open field then lineup as a traditional RB take a handoff and next play lineup in the slot run a route or run a reverse sweep(no jet sweeps in the NFL during his career)Bush would of benefited if they could had player in motion while hiking the ball allowing for jet sweeps or jet sweep bootleg helping to open the field up not allowing defenses to over load between the Tackles.
Underutilized in New Orleans. They tried to use him as a gadget player too much. Should’ve let him be a pure RB like Miami and Detroit. He could’ve had 1,000 yards rushing seasons in N.O.
He split carries 50/50 his first couple years with Deuce, but it took him awhile to realize he wasn't faster than everyone on the field like at USC. Once he figured that out he began to settle for the 2 or 3 yard gains instead of losing yardage trying to do too much. Payton has never been a 1 back coach so Reggie's rushing stats suffered but his all purpose yardage and receptions were always top of the league. He could score from anywhere on the field and demanded the defense's attention. Saints HOF for sure.
@@zacharybaudean1506 Actually he has long been a one back coach. You forget, he was coaching offensw/RB's when Marshall Faulk was in a one back set at San Diego State. You might check those highlights of Faulk.
I liked this guy a lot. I remember using him a lot in my Madden 09 games in which he made like 2,000 yds rushing with like 20 TD’s. A few catches with a few TD catches also. He was a lot of fun I mainly used him to break all running back records. Which he did in his final NFL career. Realistically he broke a few records and is probably not going into the hall of fame. But we will see. However he does have a Super Bowl ring which is good. So, he had a good career.
Man I really loved watching the Saints play back in these days with a young Reggie Bush their games were so exciting to watch because you never knew what Reggie was going to do
Yeah. About like mccaffrey. Faster. quicker and better receiver tbh. Seems to have less body mass than mccafrey and had less patience than mccafrey too.
@@YardratZno him and McCaffrey are the same size.. he was actually slightly bigger than McCaffrey. Have you seen bush without pads? He wasn't small lol that was those all black unis giving you that illusion
If not drafted by NO, you could be looking at a Hall of Famer. Saints don't care at all about their running offense. It's just a gimmick to throw in here or there for them and they play whoever it is that can work in that weird rushing offense. Bush put up (almost) three straight 1000 yard seasons in his late 20s after some nagging injuries with other teams (he was 14 yards short one season). He averaged 4.3 YPC in his career, which is a really good mark (the all-time rushing leader Emmitt was 4.2). Bush's best years were sadly wasted on NO. They used him initially as a part-time runner and a full-time receiving back and he put up tremendous numbers as a pass catcher his rookie year. When they saw the attention he was given, they simply started using him as a decoy to let Brees look downfield. I'll never forget that entire weird saga. That's how talented he was. Just infuriating to watch and then seeing the guy put up much better numbers in a few years on other teams... It is what it is. Had about 10,000 all-purpose yards in his career. He was a good RB, but could have been all-time great. We just don't know because of the team he was drafted by. They viewed him as a pawn on a chess board instead of a more useful piece to utilize up to his fullest potential.
If Reggie would've went to any other team but the Saints he would've had a more fulfilling career. Sean didn't see him as an every down back. He has grown as a coach in the sense that he does give Kamara more touches. But Reggie to me is easily a better player for all the skills he had as a player.
Let’s see Larry Johnson, Willis Mcgahee, Willie Parker, Clinton Portis, Frank Gore, Steven Jackson, Brian Urlacher, Joey Porter, Asante Samuel, Deangelo Hall,
Even they say it. Madden 07 is tge best because you got Bush and vick in the same game. Guy said "#7" plays in Atlanta he ain't chasing you down. Shout out to Michael vick
Honestly it's the saints fault he didnt become what what he was at USC. He was never given the rushes to do so and was used way to much like a gadget player. He had great hands too. He should have had MULTIPLE 1k yard seasons there
They gave him the opportunity. It's a big difference between the nfl & them trash pac 10 defenses. Don't forget he was also splitting carries with LenDale White in college
Reggie Bush was a great runner of the football probably one of the greatest ever... But he was not a what you would call a true Running Back. That’s why a team would always need one solid traditional running back to complement him. Reggie never ran with his shoulders first or parallel to the ground like most backs. He would have to get the ball with an open stride and room to run. He was not able to make his own holes or wear a Defense Down like a traditional running back. But he was great at being an overall runner of the football, be it by pass, return or sweep/reverse. 👍🏾
My boy stop meat riding. There have been so many more talented backs than Reggie. You dont know anything about football. He was athletic but there have been so many backs come through the NFL with the same amount of athleticism and better. So how could he have been the best ever? Go watch Jamal Charles highlights or people like Chris Johnson... Adrian Peterson. That was just some of the recent. The early 2000s had hella.backs too that you don't know about apparently. Also the 90s.
@Jacob Glaser ok then u must can't read because the Saints one the SB N 2009 Dude had 725.0SYcm that year 8TD Avg Y/Tch was 6.2 and O did I mention he was hurt half the year lol wait wait it's not over yet cause n the playoffs he had 5TDs he had 3 in one game #AZCardnials AND I was talking about combined yds in every season when I said 1000yds each year o bye the way 5.2 was his career Avg u know when he touch the 🏈okay🎤Drop 🤫
AnotherSKYWALKR Defenitely werent the worst based on how the saints always use their pass catching back vs linebackers which they did with bush his entire career and do with kamara now
If drew brees woulda through me a pass like that, I woulda waited 6 practices maybe just 1 and when he was doing Quarterback Warm ups I woulda Ray Lewis spear tackled the shit out of his ass, waited for him to get up and shook his hand and told him good play.
Just cause he didn't have alot of rushing yards doesn't mean they didn't use him right. He had alot of all purpose yards. Was a huge mismatch for linebackers on 3rd down passing. Helped saints win a Superbowl.
I'm a Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan and trust me, Reggie Bush was a productive back. Watch his college football games and pay attention to his lack of vision and block reading, 99% of his designed runs he immediately wants to run to the outside to outrun everyone, unless there was a huge hole immediately I'm front of him to easily burst through

@@2123lotto Where are you getting your stats from? I just went to NFL.com and the only time he had 1000 rushing yards was with the Dolphins in 2011 and the Lions in 2013.

Not an impressive career at all, based on the hype he received coming out. I remember it like it was yesterday. My boys talking about him changing the league, setting all these records. I said NO. He's not an every down back. D'Angelo Williams was the better back coming out and had a better career, as did Maurice Jones-Drew
You must didn't read any of the comments nor have done no research as to why his career was not as electric as college. Let me see you go work for a company that does know how to use your talents - will you perform to the best of your ability- HELL NO. A little perspective must be used when talking about Bush and his career. If he would be playing now he would be the best rb in the league. He did "CHANGE THE LEAGUE". He was the best all-purpose back in an era dominated by ground and pound rushers. He would be appreciated in todays game because teams are now looking for versatility. All-Pro -/ HOF talent (i.e. punt return vs. Cardinals 2009 NFC championship - name me one running back today that can make moves like that....Im waiting...) but, injuries, coaching, and time era held him back. He was the first of his kind and ahead of his time. PERIOD.
Hindsight is 20/20 but it was definitely apparent at the time that the Saints was not a good fit for Reggie Bush, despite them winning a Super Bowl with him.

Reggie Bush had one of the cleanest running styles I’ve seen in a running back. He had quick feet and made it look easy.

@@Steve_643 i like it. Eric Metcalf was the first player i remembered like this. Then reggie.
He plays in This era disguised as Christian Mccafrey
He would be the goat
He will always be remembered for high school and college. Probably one of the most dominant rb in both categories by far
Big saints/bush fan love the quality of videos and no music just original, much respect.
Underutilized in New Orleans. They tried to use him as a gadget player too much. Should’ve let him be a pure RB like Miami and Detroit. He could’ve had 1,000 yards rushing seasons in N.O.

Really is bro
Can you imagine a prime Reggie Bush playing on today's Chiefs roster with Maholmes? OMG
1300 yards as a rookie and people act like he didnt deliver lol
Reggie played in the wrong era he would thrive in today’s game

Reggie could’ve been a hall of famer had he gone to the right team after N.O.
He could've been a hall of famer with Miami but they let him go for no reason
This is by far the best highlight format. Nice work!

If Sean Payton knew how to use him back then like he do now could've seen greatness
He had a better career there then I remember. Electric but inconsistent

Drafting Reggie, trading for Vilma and Shockey, signing Sharper (yes I know what he did) this was Loomis at his finest
The saints should have moved him to WR he was a 80 catch 1,000 receiver. Once he went to Miami and Detroit and was use correctly he shined.
This statement seems like a contradiction. He was used as a true RB in Miami and Detroit. Rushed for over 1,000 yards on both teams.
Dude had all the potential to be the best RB to ever play football..

He spoiled us in college.
Dude was Ingram and kamara combines
I don't see tv shows like this anymore. No more sports center. No more NFL prime time. TV sports coverage sucks
They shouldn’t have had a fullback out there with him the fullback gets in his way. If Reggie Bush ran out of singleback he would have been in the HOF
Should’ve went with Nike instead of addidas
