Bush is widely projected as a late first-round or early second-round selection. His landing spot will largely hinge on his health. Bush suffered a hip injury in a November loss to Ohio State and could not get cleared in time for the upcoming Peach Bowl.

Bush finished out the 2018 season with 66 tackles, including 8.5 for a loss, and 4.5 sacks. Last year, he had 95 tackles in total, 10 tackles for a loss, 5.5 sacks, and an interception. He’s been on the NFL radar for some time, particularly since he’s the son of Falcons 1995 first-round pick Devin Bush Sr.

Presently, Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller has him ranked as the No. 29 overall prospect in the draft the second-best linebacker in the entire class. Teammate Rashan Gary is likely to receive more attention in the buildup to the draft, but Bush won’t be far behind if he can show that he is healthy.
