Reggie Bush, Attack Of The USC Running Back

Yes, we know Reggie Bush is a college player. And, yes, we know the NFL is playing today.

But for five of the league's bottom-feeders, today is all about the draft. Houston knows that if it loses today at San Francisco , it gets the No. 1 pick. But if Houston wins, who knows what will happen?

What is known is that Reggie Bush would be mighty tempting to the team that picks first. Reggie Bush, a junior, has not announced whether he will turn pro after this season. And there is precedent for a Heisman winner staying for his senior season: USC QB Matt Leinart did just that last season despite being considered the likely No. 1 pick in the 2005 draft.

If Reggie Bush does come out and it appears he will he would give an NFL team a triple-threat out of the backfield. Bush is an elusive, darting runner with great speed. He also is a big-time receiver who often has been split wide in the Trojans' offensive sets. And he's also a knee-buckling kickoff returner.

In addition, the team that gets Reggie Bush is going to be able to market him as one of the most exciting players to hit the league in perhaps a decade.

So, why you're watching the scores scroll across the screen today, pay particular attention to the game in San Francisco .

And one thing to remember: Reggie Bush played high school ball in the San Diego area with Alex Smith the No. 1 pick in the 2005 draft.
