Coming into the NFL,Reggie Bush was one of the most hyped rookies in recent history. Bush came into the league from Southern California along with a heisman trophy so he was a marketing dream for most companies. Most rookies coming in don't have endorsements with Subway or challenge the diet pepsi machine at the combine. But looking at Bush's career so far it is very similar to another player who had come out in the last decade. That player is Peter Warrick. If you remember Peter Warrick was just like Reggie Bush coming out of Florida State. Warrick could line up any place on the field and was a threat to score every time he touched the ball. In 2000 Warrick was drafted by the Bengals with the 4th pick overall and was expected to change the franchise. Well lets just say when your quarterback is Akili Smith not to many positive things will happen. When Smith left Warrick had a string of a few good seasons but with the development of Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmanzadeh, W...

  • Great article. Good comparison of each of them. I didn't realize how similar they were and I won't be surprised if you are right on this cause Bush hasn't done much at all.
  • I think Bush and Sean Alexander are the most overrated players in the league but I wonder what Warrick would have turned out to be if he wasn't in a situation like he had with the Bengals where the ownership is lowsy.
  • put Warrick with Peyton Manning and he could have been good...yeah, Shuan Alexander and Bush are very overrated.
  • reggie bush is a pussy......he need to just keep hammering that new girlfriend. she's hot.
  • thats always good
  • Maurice Jones Drew----------------32 teams passed on him

    i think he proved each and every one of those teams wrong.
  • Hellz yes
  • Lots of folks thought the Texans were crazy for passing on Reggie Bush (situational player) and taking Mario Williams (premier, every down player). Shaping up to be a great decision
  • WORD!!
  • texans got the better of that one, for sure
  • bull shit
  • between the games wen deuce went out nd before reggie hurt his knee (5 games), he had 100+ yards in 4 of the 5 games, he averaged 4.2 yards per carry and had 4 touchdowns. People didnt know he was hurt for the last 4 games of the season, so his stats definetly decline then
  • The yards though are total yards which is what he should be getting considering the fact he would usually get 10 carries catch 4 or 5 passes and run back punts. Bush didn't have a 100 yard rushing game this season.
  • the total yards arent includin punts
  • houston still got the better end of that deal. they are a team on the rise. n.o. isn't going to get much better than they are now, bush or no bush. mario williams had how many sacks this year?
  • he did but then they ran out the clock against the seahawks nd he lost it
  • i never really thought about it but i guess its true, bush sucks.. and ggreat article
  • Yeah coming in I thought Bush would be a decent player but the more seasoned Bush becomes,the more I think he's another Warrick. Thanks for the kind words.
  • kind of like president bush? did i say that? oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh shit!!!
  • it is good Bush has some athletic talent, if he doesn't make in NFL what skills does he have other than bam, bam tatics with K-dat.
  • president bush has actually got a little more talent than reggie.
  • Nice!
  • if pete didnt get hurt tj who,and reggie bush couldnt hold his jock on a good day.
