The Jets were one of two teams whose headquarters Bush visited before the draft. During the visit, coach Rex Ryan hinted, in one way or another, that he just might be wearing a Jets uniform this season.

"I definitely knew there was interest," Bush said with a smile.

The Jets gave away their fourth- and fifth-round picks, but when the 187th pick came up in the sixth round, they called Bush’s name. "I felt like I was the first pick of the draft," said Bush, who signed his four-year rookie deal Sunday. "It was a great feeling."
