WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (January 6, 2006)—Now that he just finished playing in
one of the greatest national championship games in NCAA history, it’s only
a matter of time before Heisman winner Reggie Bush officially declares for
the 2006 NFL Draft. Drawing comparisons to NFL greats like Gayle Sayers
and Barry Sanders, the experts believe Bush is the unquestioned top pick
in April’s draft if he leaves college following his junior season.
Anticipating that Reggie Bush is certain to enter this year’s NFL draft,
leading online sportsbook PinnacleSports today opened betting on how
the Heisman-winning running back will perform during his rookie season.
The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports has
created a number of betting lines on Reggie Bush’s rookie campaign
including if he‘ll rush for 1,000 yards, win Offensive Rookie of the Year
honors and make the NFL Pro Bowl. Believing that he’ll instantly become
the feature back for the team that selects him, the odds makers at
PinnacleSports have made Bush a 10/13 favorite to run for 1,000 yards
or more in his rookie year. The odds that his rookie season will result in
Bush capturing the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award are also in
the running back’s favor at 5/9. Although everyone expects Reggie Bush to
have a very successful NFL debut, the likelihood that he’ll be named to
the NFL Pro Bowl in his first season is a 2/1 underdog. PinnacleSports.com
has even calculated odds on Bush doing his best LaDainian Tomlinson
impersonation by throwing a touchdown pass, which currently stands as a
7/2 long shot.
“The opportunity to be the first overall pick in the NFL draft comes along
once in a lifetime, and with two national championships and a Heisman
already on his resume, there’s no real reason why Reggie Bush shouldn’t
declare for the NFL draft,” said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports. “With
comparisons to Hall of Fame running backs, there’s little doubt that
Reggie Bush will make an immediate impact in the NFL and should be a
shoe-in for 1,000 yards rushing and the Offensive Rookie of the Year if he
remains healthy.”
