Reginald Alfred "Reggie" Bush, Jr. (born March 2, 1985) is an American football running back for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the University of Southern California (USC), earned All-American honors twice, and was recognized as the top college running back. The New Orleans Saints chose him with the second overall pick of the 2006 NFL Draft. Bush won a Super Bowl title with the Saints in 2010.
Bush won multiple college football honors, including the 2005 Doak Walker and Walter Camp awards and the sport's most prestigious individual honor, the Heisman Trophy. However, allegations he received improper benefits were central to an NCAA investigation of the USC football program that led to severe NCAA sanctions against USC, including a two-year postseason ban and the vacating of wins from the 2004–05 championship season. As a result, Bush voluntarily forfeited his Heisman Trophy.
