Reggie Bush = Barry Sanders?

BC-Eagles · Dec 8, 2005

has anyone else been watching Reggie Bush and really thinking Barry Sanders? He's got a similar shiftiness in his step with the ability to explode off a stutter step

He is shifty but not to the level of Sanders but he is clearly faster straight forward.

I mentioned this in the thread Choptalk started about how he is overrated...I don't think anyone will ever have the same elusiveness, but Bush is close. The scary part is Bush is a lot faster and can run through you.

I made the same comparison although he is not on the same level as Barry Sanders...but that was the back that came to mind for me when watching him play as well.

Yes, but Bush is 6'1 223'. He can take the pounding.

BC-Eagles · Dec 8, 2005

keep in mind the kid's in college...i'm saying potentially in the NFL he seems like he could end up with that kind of run style....he's just as excited, thats for sure

This man is turning into William Wallace!

He is 6'0" 200 lbs.

What I see is the best RB comming out of college since OJ!

Journey, I apologize. I had heard he was 223. In any case, 200 is decent for a rb.

Journeyman · Dec 8, 2005

Reminds me of OJ in that uniform, those old clips, that is exactly who he reminds me of...I think people forget how great Simpson was after everything that's happened to him.

Johnny Rogers.

Darren Sproles
Dante Hall
Lionel "Little Train" James
Desmond Howard

Any of you who think Bush is 6'1" need to see him in person. 5'11" on a good day.

WorldNumberOne · Dec 8, 2005

darren sproles is a good one .. i'll also say tony dorsett .

CalRedwood · Dec 8, 2005

Whormoan have you seen him play in person? What game ?

BCTTWR · Dec 8, 2005

But none will ever be compared to the legendary Walt Garrison.

I'm sure Bush is hoping for a better N.F.L. career than Johnny. Granted Rogers was a great college player, and the comparison can be made. Everyone and their brother seems to think Bush is the next franchise player, but that remains to be seen and I doubt he is.
