Scouting Report: Strengths
- Bush can flip his hips and run, with good top-end speed and the length to make plays on the ball.
- Bush tracks the ball well and does a nice job of getting his head around in plenty of time to avoid flags.
- Very good athleticism and flexibility. Has plus speed for the position and a second gear with good recovery speed to make up for missed plays.
- Gives great effort in run support, sticking his nose in as a tackler, and should be able to contribute as a special teamer covering kicks.
- He’s long and strong enough in his core to steer receivers to the sideline without getting grabby with his hands when playing inside technique.
- Aware zone cornerback who is also adept in man coverage, flashing physical hand punch at the line and straight-line speed to stay with receivers downfield.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Neither his size nor his straight-line speed would be considered elite
- He’ll draw plenty of flags early on with his playing style. Bush is hesitant when facing the action in zone coverage.
- Lacks a physical element to his game, and Bush doesn’t have a frame that can carry a lot of weight. He’ll get outmuscled at the top of routes by bigger receivers.
