Reggie Bush
Reggie Bush was selected second overall by the New Orleans Saints in the 2006 NFL Draft. Bush played a pivotal role in the Saints’ Super Bowl XLIV victory against the Indianapolis Colts. His career also included stints with the Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, and Buffalo Bills.
While not often a traditional every-down back, Bush was known for his versatility and explosive playmaking in both the running and passing game. Bush accumulated over 9000 yards from scrimmage and 54 total touchdowns in his NFL career.

Ted Ginn Jr
Ted Ginn Jr. was selected ninth overall by the Miami Dolphins in the 2007 NFL Draft. Over the course of his NFL career, Ginn played for multiple teams, including the Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints, and the Chicago Bears.
Ginn was primarily known for his speed and agility, making him a threat as both a wide receiver and return specialist. He has accumulated over 5,000 receiving yards and more than 30 receiving touchdowns. As a return specialist, he returned four punts and three kickoffs for touchdowns.
His unique ability to change a game with a long play—either as a receiver or a returner—made him a valuable asset on any team he joined. Over the years, Ginn was involved in several playoff runs, including a trip to the Super Bowl with the Carolina Panthers.
Emmanuel Sanders
Emmanuel Sanders was a wide receiver known for his route-running precision and reliable hands. He was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft after an impressive college career at SMU.
Sanders played in Pittsburgh for four seasons (2010-2013) before signing with the Denver Broncos, where he enjoyed five productive seasons (2014-2019) and won Super Bowl 50. Sanders later had stints with the 49ers, Saints and Bills.
