Tim Tebow Calls Reggie Bush 'One of the Greatest' Ever After Heisman Trophy Returned

Florida legend Tim Tebow looked happy to see the Heisman Trophy back in the possession of Reggie Bush.

The Heisman Trust announced Wednesday it reinstated the former USC running back as the winner of the 2005 award. Tebow shared a picture of Bush with the hardware and called him "one of the greatest to ever play!"

Bush forfeited the Heisman in 2010 after the NCAA levied sanctions against USC for violations regarding improper benefits toward the two-time All-American. The NCAA vacated a total of 14 wins for the Trojans across the 2004 and 2005 seasons as well.

Even at the time, no longer recognizing Bush as the Heisman winner felt a bit heavy-handed. The shifting tides on how student-athletes could be compensated thanks to NIL legislation subsequently brought more attention to how he was still being erased from the official history.

To Tebow's point, those who watched Bush at USC knew how great he was regardless of how the NCAA or Heisman Trust honored his achievements.

But it will be great to see the two-time national champion take his rightful place among the Heisman winners at the annual ceremony.
