What makes Bush so special - Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The dazzling running back from Southern Cal, who won the Heisman trophy, will provide a team with a smooth blend of speed and misdirection running that some say the league hasn't seen in decades.

Bush is versatile enough to play running back, flank out at wide receiver and return kickoffs and punts. About the only question is how much of a NFL load can he carry...

...Bush was measured at 5-feet-10 7/8 and weight 201 pounds at the NFL scouting combine...

..."He's tough, he has great hands," Falcons president and general manager Rich McKay said. "He is a game changer on punt returns and kickoff returns."

In part because of his size, Bush is being compared to some of the game's greatest open-field runners...

..."Catching it, he's like a wide receiver," Kiper said. "If he was No. 85 at USC and playing just a wide receiver spot, he'd be a first-round pick."...
