Reggie Bush will donate $2,500 for every TD scored

Detroit Lions star running back Reggie Bush will probably lose some more touches this season in a very deep backfield, as Joique Bell and Theo Riddick are also explosive weapons in the passing game who command touches in the Lions high-volume, creative offense under new offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi. Bush and Bell were a two-headed monster in the rushing and passing games last season, as Bush went over 1,000 yards of rushing for the second time in his career with a nifty 4.5 YPC average. The former New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins back also hauled in 54 receptions and had seven total touchdowns (four rushing, three receiving).

    • According to ESPN NFL Nation’s Michael Rothstein, Reggie Bush will donate $2,500 to a Boys & Girls Club for every touchdown he scores this upcoming season, so there’s a reason for non-Lions and non-Bush fantasy owners to root for him to score. Hopefully he can pull double-digit TD’s this year, because that would be a quality $25,000. That’s not too much coming out of his paycheck, but it’s a very nice gesture and a very nice total for the club (or clubs) that pulls in a share of that.

    Based on last season’s results, Bush would have donated $17,500, but, unfortunately, he might not score as many TDs with Riddick, Bell, and some TEs looming (for pass-catching TD purposes). Still, it’s great to hear that Bush is doing this, and let’s hope we can see him cross the end zone frequently in the 2014 season.
