When Reggie Bush enters the League next year and is an instant mega-star, Nike will inevitably promote him in one of their high school flashback spots (a la LaDanian Tomlinson, Brian Urlacher and Ron Mexico). The Nike marketing geniuses will be faced with the dilemma of selecting 2 or 3 of Bush's best high school highlights for the spot. Today, the New York Times features an article on Bush's high school days that includes a 7 1/2 minute video of Bush simply destroying defenses with his combination of sick athletic ability and agility and tremendous speed (scroll down for video). What 3 highlights would you select for the hypothetical Bush/Nike spot? I'd go with:
- #4 - Bush on a crossing pattern, zig-zags along the left sideline, then turns on the jets and cuts his way to 6
- #9 - Bush on a sweep, totally changes direction, then comes back across the field and is eventually tackled around the 15 or 20 yard line
- #13 (the last one) - Bush on a punt return, reverses field, sets up a couple blocks, then zooms down the field for a touchdown
