Rafael Bush (born May 12, 1987) is an American football safety for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL). He initially joined the NFL in 2010 when signed by the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent. He played college football at South Carolina State.

Professional career

Atlanta Falcons

After going undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft, Bush signed with the Atlanta Falcons on April 26, 2010. He was released on September 4, 2010 and signed to the Falcons' practice squad the next day. The team promoted him to the active roster on December 29, 2010. He was released during final cuts on September 3, 2011, but re-signed to the practice squad the following day.

Denver Broncos

On October 17, 2011, Bush was signed away from the Falcons' practice squad by the Denver Broncos.[1]

New Orleans Saints

On September 1, 2012, Bush was signed by the New Orleans Saints. Bush is noted for wearing #25 with the team, which was notably worn by Reggie Bush during the latter's tenure with the team.

Bush was a restricted free agent after the 2013 season, and he signed an offer sheet with the Falcons that would have returned him to Atlanta for reported compensation of about $4.5 million for two years. However, on April 7, 2014, the Saints exercised their right to match the Falcons' offer and bring Bush back to New Orleans.[2] During the 2015 season, he played in the Saints' season opener at Arizona before being placed on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

Detroit Lions

On March 12, 2016, the Detroit Lions signed Bush to a one-year contract.[3][4]
