The online sportsbook set the odds at 6 to 1 that Houston would not draft the running back some were calling the next Gale Sayers. Meaning, for every $100 bet placed on Bush not being taken by the Texans, $600 were paid out. Reggie Bush is one of those athletes that only come around once in a lifetime
