Reggie Bush has said that the Detroit Lions offense is similar to that of the New Orleans Saints.

The running back joined the NFC North side after coming to the end of his contract with the Miami Dolphins earlier this year.

The 28-year-old told NFL AM: "As far as from an offensive perspective it's a lot like what we did in New Orleans. It's a lot of spread-open passing.

"Obviously we can attack downfield, and with the running game, a lot of screens, draws and stuff like that. Basically what I did in New Orleans, so running this offensive system has been pretty easy for me.

"I've always enjoyed being in the position that I am and doing what I do, being able to split out wide and catch balls so it's great that offenses are going toward that direction."

Bush spent the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Saints, before joining the Dolphins in 2011.
