Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com: "Defensive coordinators have told me this season that Bush may be seen as a superstar to the general public but he is not someone who keeps them awake at night. They say he's not as fast as he looks, can be covered by a linebacker one-on-one and gets shy around contact."The fact that Bush is widely regarded as a superstar is actually causing folks in the league to take a dimmer view of him than they would if he was a third-down back taken on the second day of the draft.
As one league source told us on Wednesday, an "amazing number of people" in the league think Bush is overrated. And more and more folks are concluding that the Texans knew what they were doing when passing on Bush with the No. 1 selection. (Not drafting Vince Young, however, is quite another story.) It's not going to get any better for Bush. Though many assume that he'll get a chance to become an every-down back (and potentially blossom) now that Deuce McAllister is out for the season, don't be surprised if backup Aaron Stecker ends up inheriting most of the touches that would have gone to McAllister.
