Top 40 NFL Draft 2016 Prospects Who Might Be Giants
By Neal Lynch
Deon Bush
S, Miami Hurricanes
Height: 6 feet 1 inch
Weight: 203 pounds
- 2015 All-ACC Third Team (Coaches)

Bush is one of three prospects at the safety position who the Giants should consider drafting, according to NFL.com. Big Blue View stated that Bush is…
"“a DB who very much fits the Giants’ mold. He has the size the Giants like in their defenders at 6-1, 205, and the versatility they love, playing all over the Hurricanes’ defense. Bush has been used close to the line of scrimmage in coverage and run support, as a blitzer, and as a center-fielding safety. He is athletic, physical, has a knack for making plays, and is a willing special-teamer.”"
NFL Media reporter Albert Breer relayed the following:
"“Bush has the physical ability to play all over the secondary — and has shown himself to be capable of manning both center field and spots closer to the line. He’s generally been regarded as a mid-round prospect, in part because of his average ball skills”"
WalterFootball.com projected Bush to go in the 4th through 6th Round.
