What is Reggie Bush doing now? Former Super Bowl champ’s career after football explored

Former USC Trojan and NFL running back Reggie Bush has had a successful football career. Most notably, he won the 2005 Heisman Trophy but that was vacated due to a NCAA violation. However, he has remained a part of football throughout his post-playing career as he was an analyst with Fox Sports before the two decided to part ways.

Since then, the former Super Bowl champion running back has taken a lower profile and instead has become an ambassador for multiple brands, including the golf brand Sixron. One of the biggest things on his plate is currently filing a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA, while claiming they have attacked his character since forfeiting his Heisman Trophy back in 2010.

Bush has stayed out of the public light for a while now and it will be interesting to see if he does this for the remainder of the lawsuit against the NCAA.
