Pete Prisco says Bush most over-rated

reggiebush.jpgPete Prisco of CBSSportsline.com throws out his annual over-rated/under-rated list for the NFL and Reggie Bush wins as the most over-rated player in the league.

Prisco writes: “Bush, who has 1,146 rushing yards in two seasons, gets the nod this year as my most overrated NFL player. In 28 NFL games, Bush has one 100-yard rushing effort. His 3.7 career average per rush is not impressive at all. He does have 161 catches in two seasons, but the Saints expected a lot more with him running with the football when they selected him.”

His most under-rated? Rams safety O.J. Atogwe. Why? Prisco says:

“Atogwe had eight interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, and 75 tackles in 2007 for the Rams. He has 32 starts in his three-year career and at 26 is just scratching the surface of his potential. Atogwe can become an unrestricted free agent after the 2008 season if the Rams don’t get him signed to a long-term deal by season’s end. If the Rams are smart, they’ll get him locked up before that happens. He’s that good.”
