Reggie Bush opened up about battling depression and suicidal thoughts before he was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in 2006
Reggie Bush is opening up about how being drafted by the New Orleans Saints was a powerful turning point in his life.
Before being selected by the Saints, Bush was a running back at University of Southern California and won the Heisman Trophy in 2005. Soon after, he was accused of receiving money and goods from his college, which went against NCAA rules. An investigation was launched, and he ultimately forfeited his 2005 Heisman Trophy as a result in 2010.
Friends, fellow athletes and fans took to the comments section to celebrate the milestone. “Finally!!👏🏾✌🏾,” track and field Olympian Allyson Felix wrote. “One of the greatest to ever do it. Welcome back my brother 🤞🏼,” former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel added.While at USC in 2005, Bush gained more than 2000 yards from scrimmage and scored 18 touchdowns.
When asked how it felt to hold the trophy again all these years later, Bush quipped, 'It was heavy as I remembered. I was like, 'Yep, it's still heavy.''
