Jets ink second rookie in three days, safety Bush

BY NICK ST. DENIS

The Jets had their rookies on the field this weekend, and Gang Green is doing a pretty good job making sure they stay there.

Three days after signing second-round pick receiver Stephen Hill, the Jets inked sixth-round pick safety Josh Bush to a four-year deal Sunday, according to the Newark Star-Ledger.

Bush was taken by the Jets because of his cover skills, as the converted cornerback out of Wake Forest looks to be an asset in New York's pass defense.

The Jets' current projected starters at safety are former Redskin LaRon Landry and career Jet Eric Smith.
