    I guess TheSpun.com is a Sports Illustrated website?

    I saw the below picture of Devin Bush and clicked; this brought me to an article on the Biggest Draft busts in league History.

    That is Devin Bush right? Seems a little premature to be calling him one of the biggest busts of all time???

    I still say it takes 2 years to fully recover from an ACL, so we shouldn't pass judgment on him yet.

    Even bigger than Brian Bosworth? No way.

    It's close between Richardson and Stephens.

    Bush was trending in the right direction until he hurt his knee. He hasn't been the same since.

    Its make or break for him.

    But, he's not a bust draft. He hasn't lived up to the hype or the trade up to get him at this point.

    Bush represents a 1st round, 2nd round and 3rd round pick for the Steelers.

    If he is 4 and out and gets replaced this year by Buddy Johnson he would probably go down as the Steelers Biggest Bust of all time.

    I hope he turns it around this year, but for 2022 there is no reason to keep him in the lineup if he is not producing. I wonder if he would add any value to special teams like Artie Burns did at the end of his contract?

    The Spun is trash, I wouldn't take anything they post seriously.

    Troy Edwards might be a dark horse for that distinction

    DB is not a bust, he just should have never been selected where he was.
    He has this year to prove himself. Steelers evaluators must be better at MLB position.
    These ILB have to be competent in covering TE/RB's

    I made the mistake a couple of times a few years ago actually clicking on sites like that (which are shown to be ads). Usually, the person in the picture is just a "grab", to get you to click on the link, and never actually appears in the article.

    Troy Edwards was productive in his rookie season.... but nowhere near #1 WR numbers. His lackluster performance caused the Steelers to draft Burress the following year. Jarvis Jones contributed and played a lot of games.... so did Artie Burns. Richardson didn't play hardly at all... and Stephens failed miserably at running drills, couldn't even complete them and was cut by Cowher.
