Is Bush really the 10th worst draft steel failure?

Heck, Reggie hasn't shown he's an Iron man yet, much less steel !

But ESPN sucks. Worthless article.

Please end the lockout.

I agree Shack. What the hell? Leave him alone and go after someone else. This is getting ridiculous.

WTF is a draft "steal failure" anyway? I would think it would have to be someone that was drafted at least below the 1st round...no? Reggie was the 2nd player picked overall...hardly a steal in my book.

The best way that I personally would describe the situation would be a slight disappointment although he has provided many, many highlight reel plays.

Say what you will about him, he still has a SB ring on his finger. He was part of a team that did something no other Saint team could even get close to.

To tell you the truth...I don't know how you can even come up with a list of "worst draft steal failures". Sounds kinda stupid to me.

^^This^^ All lower-round draft choices that didn't make it are failures.

Really? This has pretty much become the norm for ESPN... national guys who do little to no research on teams (except the Pats, Steelers, and Cowboys) and then draw conclusions.

Reggie has been a disappointment, but top 10 steal failure (that doesn't sound right) is dumb. He's certainly not a superstar, but an all-around contributor. The thing that worries me about Reggie right now is that his performance in the kicking game has fallen off so dramatically (the guy is a crippling fumble waiting to happen) that I think his value to the team is lower than ever.

If he was picked in the upper 2nd round of the draft he would be considered a great player for his draft status but now he wasn't so we get to read crap like this instead.
