One of the greatest college running backs in history, Reggie Bush was drafted by the New Orleans Saints with the second overall pick in the 2006 draft.
Bush signed a six-year deal worth $62 million, with over $26.5 million guaranteed.
He played five seasons with the Saints, and although he proved his value as a receiving threat out of the backfield, as well as a returner, he never succeeded as a running back, and that's why he was drafted. He was supposed to be one of the greatest running backs in NFL history. Instead, he struggled to get onto the field.
