Lions running back Reggie Bush is setting the bar high with his new team.
Bush said at the Lions’ Organized Team Activities on Wednesday that while he may have lived in more glamorous places than Detroit in the past (having played his college football in Los Angeles and his pro football in New Orleans and Miami), that doesn’t matter because he’s all business with the Lions. And he thinks the Lions are ready to get down to business.
“I came here to work,” Bush said, via the Detroit News. “I didn’t come here to vacation. I came here to win championships, to win football games, and that’s what I look forward to doing.”
Bush hinted that he’s happier with the Lions than he had been with the Saints and Dolphins.
“Some guys have been asking me, ‘How was Miami? How was South Beach,'” he said. “I tell them, you know, it’s nice but if the football isn’t right, it doesn’t matter where you are at. If your work isn’t right, you are not going to be happy. As long as we take care of business here, this can be an amazing place. I think it has a lot to offer. I look forward to getting into that stadium and hearing those fans be as loud as ever.”
If Bush really can help the Lions become a championship-caliber team, Lions fans will be louder than ever.
