Speed & Range

Like many young linebackers, Devin Bush can tend to over-pursue on some plays, but it’s easy to see why he does it.

Bush has elite speed and range as a linebacker. He thinks he can make every play, and most of the time, he’s right.

It doesn’t matter if Bush is lined up on the far hash and needs to go make a play at the numbers on the other side of the field — he has the range to do it.

Bush can get sucked in by play-action and doesn’t always guess right on zone plays, but even when he does get sucked in, he’s fast enough to recover and make plays in space.

Bush ran a 4.43 at the Scouting Combine and posted a 40.5-inch vertical jump. This guy has insane athleticism and it translates to the field. He plays fast 100 percent of the time and it causes problems for offenses on all three downs in a variety of ways.
