NFL linebacker Devin Bush has been arrested in Pennsylvania on charges of assault and harassment. Bush played for the Michigan Wolverines from 2016-18 before becoming a first round NFL Draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers selected Bush with the 10th overall pick of the 2019 draft.

While at the University of Michigan Bush excelled and was chosen for multiple All-American teams during his three years. He was a bone crushing hitter and captained the defensive unit with a cerebral approach that led to the units being in the top 10 in overall rating multiple times. His NFL career has not been as extraordinary, and he has dealt with some nagging injuries that have limited his playing time and effectiveness.
