I'm going to have to watch this, Barry Sanders is the closest comparison I can make to Reggie Bush. Everyone says that Bush is too small, but Sanders is arguably the best if not one of the best running backs ever, and he was tiny. I cannot wait to see Bush play.

The cuts, jukes and speed both these men possess is ridiculous. I was in awe watching that whole thing.

You can't compare Reggie to Barry yet.

But I do think Reggie was a better college player and that is really saying something. The maker of this video should have used highlights from Sanders' college days to make a more viable comparison. This video is 15 years too early.

Here is Bush's high school tape:

Sayers > Sanders > Reggie's not even on their level until he does it in the pros

There was another high schooler with a video montage that blew reggie's away. I can't find it at the moment though.

I am an admitted Reggie Bush fanboy. I see no way he doesn't excel in the NFL, he's too talented. I think he's going to start out at 8 to 10 carries a game and then eventually become a featured back when they let Deuce go or trade him. I bet he average 6+ yards a carry this year and gets a ton of receptions. God I can't wait to watch the Saints play, they make me want to get NFL Sunday Ticket.

he had two advantages before, 1) he had great blocking, 2) he wasn't playing against pros.

he might do some great things in the nfl...he could just as easily be just a decent change of pace back.

I agree, I think he is as talented and as great as everyone else, but you have to remember he isnt playing against highschool or Pac 10 defenses anymore. Will he be great? Yes, but please lets not compare him to any of the legendary NFL backs just yet.

is it humanly possible to tackle reggie bush? my god.

Barry Sanders is the greatest Running Back of all time, i don't care what anyone says.


Reggie Bush will be a stud in the NFL. he's got more bulk on him then sanders did, with the same amount of speed, vision, cutting ability and he has better hands. he's got barry sanders legs, with marshall faulk's hands. barring injuries he'll be a monster in the NFL for a good while.

Reggie Bush may not have played against the pros yet, but he was still playing against grown men. Big, fast, athletic men, trained to play football and to tackle him. He made them look like middle schoolers. He did have a good offensive line, but he did so much once he was already past that line. I won't compare him to Barry Sanders, but to write off what he has done and can do is ridiculous. I disliked him until recently due to his playing at USC, but I could never ignore his ability.
