Colts' Best Bet: UCLA's Maurice Drew - Reggie Bush's Key Rival


If the Indianapolis Colts -- in search of a running back to take over for the departed-for-Arizona Edgerrin James -- are concerned that they may not be able to get Reggie Bush, there's one player that may still be on the board by the time their turn at #30 comes around in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft: UCLA's Maurice Drew.

Here's Bush's workout stats:

40 yard dash - 4.33
225 lbs reps - 24
Vertical Jump - 40.5 inches

Now keep in mind that Bush did this at USC's Pro Day, a full month after the NFL Combine, where UCLA's Maurice Drew participated. This means that Reggie had a full month to workout to beat Drew's stats:

40 yard dash - 4.39
225 lbs reps - 18
Vertical Jump - 36 inches

Drew compares favorably with Bush, and like his rival can take over a game. If the Colts can get him, he's an even better value than Lendale White.
