Seeing the New Orleans Saints draft Mark Ingram tonight in the NFL Draft makes you wonder- who’s out? Former Illini Pierre Thomas or Heisman Trophy* winner Reggie Bush?
Well, if you follow Bush on Twitter, and saw what he tweeted at approx 11:40 CT pm (an hour or so after the draft concluded), you may get a good idea on how to answer that question.
Bush’s Tweet:
@reggie_bush It’s been fun New Orleans.
Ok, perhaps this is just sour grapes. And it may come off like an ex trying to take the high road in dealing with his/her former beau, (see what I did there? using a French word when talking about the team that sports the fleur-de-lis).
But more than likely, this probably tells you that the 2006 #2 overall pick has probably caught his last screen pass out of the backfield for the Saints. I would have said carried the rock for the final time in NOLA, but his yards-per-catch was always so much better than his yards-per-rush.
