In 2006, Reggie Bush was supposed to be the Michael Jordan of the NFL Draft: an incredibly exciting talent that was passed over in favor of a big man, and fell to the #2 overall pick. After a decorated career at the University of Southern California, scouts believed there was nothing Bush couldn’t do well on the field. But in his second year in the NFL (in 2007), we slowly started to realize that Bush wasn’t really built to be an NFL running back. For a guy with his incredible level of talent, he only averaged 3.7 yards per carry, and had the third fewest runs of 20+ yards (three) of any running back with at least 150 carries that year.
