A former American football running back, Reginald (Reggie) Bush played for the New Orleans Saints in the National Football League (NFL). The Saints drafted Reggie Bush as the second overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. Bush played college football at the University of Southern California (USC). While in college, he won the Heisman Trophy as the most outstanding player in the nation, and also earned the consensus All-American honors twice.
In 2005, he was also the winner of the Doak Walker and Walter Camp awards. In 2008, Bush was named an All-Pro punt returner and won Super Bowl XLIV with the Saints in 2010 defeating the Indianapolis Colts. Before retiring from the NFL in December 2017, Bush also played for the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, and San Francisco 49ers.
It was allegedly reported that he received improper benefits from winning the Heisman Award, due to which an NCAA investigation of the USC football program was conducted. This led to severe NCAA sanctions against USC. They suffered a two-year postseason ban and had to vacate the 2004 national championship. Bush voluntarily forfeited his Heisman Trophy as a consequence of this turmoil. However, on April 24, 2024, the Heisman Trust reinstated Bush and gave back his original Heisman Trophy while sending USC a replica as well.
