Reggie Bush Candidly Says He's 'Happy' to Be Alive After Heisman Scandal


Reggie Bush admitted the investigation that stripped him of his 2005 Heisman Trophy made him want to ‘give up’ on life

Bush, now 39, was stripped of the honor, awarded annually to college football’s most outstanding player, in 2010 after it was determined the University of Southern California running back and his family were given money and gifts that broke NCAA rules. Bush — who shares daughter Briseis, 11, and sons Uriah, 9, and Agyeman, 7, with wife Lilit Avagyan, whom he married in July 2014 — admitted things got very dark for him during the aftermath of the investigation. Following his collegiate career, Bush went on to spend 11 seasons in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills.
