Reggie Bush

Reggie Bush made the running back position relevant again in Detroit.  When Bush signed with the Lions he brought with him a some Hollywood flare. But ever since he put on a Lions jersey he has been more blue-collar than Hollywood, playing through injuries and holding himself accountable for mistakes.

Bush amassed 1,512 yards from scrimmage and 7 total touchdowns in his debut season with the Lions.  Bush’s success also rubbed off on Joique Bell who had an excellent season playing the Thunder to Bushes lightning.
