Bush dominated his three seasons at USC, where he won a national championship and the Heisman Trophy. The university retired his No. 5 jersey earlier this month. Bush also recently regained his Heisman Trophy, after a lengthy battle that initially declared Bush ineligible for games he played for the Trojans for receiving impermissible benefits from marketing agents. The NCAA also vacated USC’s 2004 national championship season and many of Bush’s accomplishments. Bush has filed a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA.
Bush was selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. He spent 11 seasons in the league and racked up nearly 5,500 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns before retiring after the 2016 campaign. He also won a Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints during the 2009 season.
