Number Three: Reggie Bush

Reggie Bush was the running back for New Orleans from 2006 through 2010, winning a Super Bowl with the team in 2009. Reggie Bush could have been much higher on this list if he had spent more than five seasons with the team, but he didn’t.

The former number two overall pick by the Saints back in 2006 played great in his five-year tenure with the Saints before his career completely derailed in front of his eyes.

Bush, a former Heisman Trophy winner at USC, had great stats in his career, logging 524 carries, 2,090 rushing yards, and 17 rushing touchdowns to go along with 294 receptions, for 2,142 receiving yards, and 12 receiving touchdowns.

Bush was a valuable piece to the Saints’ Super Bowl run in 2009 and will always be remembered for his contributions to the organization.
