[edit] Professional career
[edit] Carolina Panthers
Bush was originally by the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2006, but was waived following the preseason.
[edit] Green Bay Packers
Bush was claimed off of waivers by the Green Bay Packers one day after being cut by Carolina. He has played mainly as a third or fourth cornerback and on special teams during his career with the Packers.
On March 13, 2009 the Tennessee Titans signed Bush to an offer sheet.[2] The Packers matched the Titans offer on March 16.[3]
On February 6, 2011 during Super Bowl XLV, after Pro-Bowl cornerback Charles Woodson suffered a broken collar bone, Bush would have to fill a cornerback slot as well as continue his special teams duties. In the second quarter, the Steelers were on the Green Bay 49 yard line with a 2nd and 11. Bush made a great read and drove on a Ben Roethlisberger pass intended for Michael Wallace over the middle, resulting in the Packers second interception of the game. This would prove pivotal in the game, as the ensuing drive resulted with a touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Greg Jennings.[4] Bush ended Super Bowl XLV with one interception, one hit on quarterback, one pass defended, and five total tackles of which four were solo.[5]
On December 21, 2011 Bush was named as the starter on special teams from the fan vote. However is the other 2/3 of the vote he didn't make it.
