haha like Ryan Leaf??? I don't think he will be as great as everyone hypes him up to be, but I think he will be a pretty darn good player. He'll makes some pro bowls, maybe hall of fame.

Do we get to at least see one game first? Or even hear how mini-camp has gone before writing this guy off as the next Ryan Leaf?!?! I agree with ndfan that he may be overhyped but lets at least give him a game or two before we make any rash judgements.

The only thing I know for sure is that he won't wear #5. NFL shut that down today.

Barry Sanders, Emmit Smith, Warrick Dunn were also considered too small.  Someday his numbers will be right up there with these guys.

Well, if he ends up with career numbers like Warrick Dunn, then i think that would be considered a bust.

This guy is amazing, I don't think he is overhyped and he should have been the number one pick, but now he's with the Saints and he is selling tickets like crazy.  This guy is a future hall of famer and probaly will get close to most all-purpose yards in a career if he stays healthy.

I agree he is a stud on the field and is a threat in many ways... he's better then warrick dunn and is more versataile he maybe wont be the best running back in the game but i agree he will get many all purpose yards and will learn the RB spot as time goes on

I don't really know anyone who thinks that bush is going to come into the league and rush for 1500 yards his first year.  So that comment about everyone thinking he's gonna be as good as LT this year is ridiculous. 

Secondly, did anyone even watch this guy play college football?  He's not too small at all.  Sure he is really fast, but that doesn't mean he can't run up the middle.  I have seen numerous times in which bush has leveled some guys right up the middle.  This guy has a great forward lean and he builds up momentum so fast that he can run over plenty of people.

And he can learn from one of the best big backs in the league this season, Deuce McAllister.  There's my two cents.

Barry Sanders 5'8 203
Emmitt Smith 5'9 212
Reggie Bush 6'0 203

Size won't be a problem for Reggie. Durability will be key for him. He will be getting hit by guys like Urlacher, Lewis, and Porter. Not some guys from Fresno State and Cal.

If he has leveled guys up the middle numerous times why wasn't he in their on the fourth and inches against Texas???

because Lendal White is a gigantic beast.

If you had mike alstott and ladanian tomlinson, who are you going to send in on a 4th and inches.  Im goin with alstott, but LT is a far better running back.

Whites a fine player no doubt....But when the game is on the line I want my best player to have the ball in his hands because he can make plays. 4th and 5 who had the ball and made the play for Texas??? yep their BEST player Vince Young. What did he do??? He got the job done.

like i said earlier, watch some game film on bush, you'll see that he can too run through people.  The guy has very strong legs and a low center of gravity.  And really, what is the difference between "running around" and "juking"
