Former Michigan football All-American signs with a new NFL franchise

Devin Bush is arguably one of the greatest linebackers to ever play for Michigan. Bush had a short three-year career in Ann Arbor, leaving for the NFL after his junior season. But the sure-tackler left his mark after he was named a two-time All-American in 2017 and a consensus All-American in 2018.

Bush was the 10th overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers and was named to the All-Rookie Team after a 109-tackle campaign. But Bush tore his ACL in 2020 after playing just five games and never seemed to regain his rookie form. The Steelers declined his fifth-year option, and Bush played only four seasons for the Steelers.

On Thursday, Ian Rapoport reported the Seattle Seahawks swooped in and signed Bush to a one-year deal.

The Seahawks said an area of focus this season would be the linebacker position and the hope is a change of scenery will help Bush and get him back to the player he was at Michigan and in his first year in the NFL.
