During awards shows and red carpets, athletes and celebrities make fashion statements. Tonight, Michigan linebacker Devin Bush Jr. earned some major headlines with his fashion choices, which involved wearing a shoulder-harness looking outfit that kept him buckled him buckled inside the suit. Twitter had a fun experience when looking at Devin Bush’s unconventional suit and hair choices during the 2019 NFL Draft. Despite the choices, the Pittsburgh Steelers gave up the No. 20 pick, a second-round in 2019, and a 2020 third-round pick to the Denver Broncos for the No. 10 pick. As a rookie, Bush’s speed, skill, and leadership could make an immediate impact in Black and Gold. Some media and Twitter users shared their reactions to his suit and hair choice. Devin Bush’s draft suit is…something. The 90s really are back. pic.twitter.com/6z6BgxQ8lw — Tyler Thompson (@MrsTylerKSR) April 25, 2019 I really want to know what suits Devin Bush discarded to choose THIS. — Nicole Auerbach (@NicoleAuerbach) April 26, 2019 Is Devin Bush wearing a Straight Jacket over his suit?

But Kyler's pink suit with pinstripes and whiite sneakers says, "I am different." Is he ever. Great different. — Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) April 25, 2019 Devin Bush's suit is just missing a guitar. pic.twitter.com/SELRERg4MM — Jim (@TheSportsJim) April 26, 2019 I keep thinking Devin Bush is injured. Not a sling. That’s his suit. — PeytonsHead (Retired) (@BigHeadBS) April 26, 2019 At first glance I thought why would the Steelers draft Devin Bush with his arm in a sling? Just realized it was his suit. — Curtis Fitzpatrick (@cfitzfox) April 26, 2019 How did Devin Bush get his hands on vintage Gordon Gartrell original suit pic.twitter.com/q5dDtkGBts — Judge Qiana Lillard (@JudgeQLillard) April 26, 2019 Devin Bush’s draft suit is…something.

For the Steelers, Devin Bush could make an instant impact as a rookie with his speed, and sideline coverage. Bush will also keep join his father, who played eight NFL seasons, as first-round draft choices. Both Bush family members wore similar fashion choices during Thursday’s draft. Trades are very uncommon for the Steelers during the NFL Draft. Pittsburgh made its last big trade in 2003 for USC’s Troy Polamulu, who starred for 12 seasons. Bush will also likely fill the shoes of injured linebacker Ryan Shazier, who has not played since suffering a spinal contusion against the Cincinnati Bengals in 2017.<doc-sep>Devin Bush had made his draft night statement even more the Steelers drafted up to take him with the 10th overall pick. Bush, the standout inside linebacker from the University of Michigan, made a statement as soon as he walked onto the red carpet hours before the official start of the draft on Thursday night. While many of his fellow draft mates dressed in more "normal" suit attire, Bush's suit was, simply put, nonconventional. Bush, not surprisingly, was asked about his suit choice after being drafted by the Steelers. As explained in an interview with NFL.com, Bush met with his stylist, Reynard Hines, and rapper/artist Darnell Williams four days before the draft to create his draft day suit. “That was just a little spice on it, just a little flavor — something different,” Bush said, via Jacob Klinger of PennLive.com. "You know, a lot of people have probably seen the handbags or the straps that go around the chest. We just kind of figured out this harness would kind of complement the whole suit and that’s what we went with.” “It’s not a typical suit,” Bush said phone Thursday night. "Me and my stylist we just bounced ideas off of each other. You know, he wanted to put a lot of my personality into this suit, and that’s what we did.” While Bush made some draft night noise with his suit, head coach Mike Tomlin and GM Kevin Colbert are instead focused on the noise Bush can make on the football field. Both Colbert and Tomlin expressed their excitement in getting Bush during his meeting with the media Thursday night. "Obviously when you make a trade up into the top 10, we were very excited to be able to make that trade and to get Devin Bush," Colbert said. "Really, we identified Devin going back into last year when we watched him as an underclassman. Coach had a handle on him coming into this season. We scouted him extensively. We had four different people go in during the fall, myself included. We saw him play live games, visited with him at the Combine, we visited with him the night before his pro day, and of course attended his pro day. This is a quality young man who's really an excellent football player. As an inside linebacker, his game is really predicated on what is needed to play the position in modern-day NFL football because he cannot only play the run, he's got exceptional coverage abilities, and he can also rush the passer. Very, very excited that we were able to move up and be able to get a young play, a young man, like Devin Bush." "I share Kevin's excitement," Tomlin said. "Succinctly, he's an all-situations linebacker, really (an) all-three-down type of a guy, versus the run, versus the pass - be it in coverage or in pressures. Those are just the tangible things. We're equally as fired up about his intangibles. He comes from a football family. He's a football guy. Everyone speaks very highly of him, not only as a player but as a person. His leadership skills are unquestioned. We interviewed a lot of Michigan players through the draft process and it was unanimous in terms of who their unquestioned leader was, and that was attractive to us as well. The position he plays is like a defensive quarterback, and I think that's something that comes very natural to him."<doc-sep>The NFL Draft is of course about the fans and their respective teams making selection. It's also about players achieving a lifelong goal. And when you're achieving a lifelong goal, you have to dress to impress. On Thursday night in Nashville, Tennessee, we witnessed a lot of different looks, as players made their way to the stage to get photos snapped with Roger Goodell. Some were clean, some were eccentric, some were just plain bad. But all of them were unique. Like everything they do, we must mercilessly judge these players. So, without further ado, here are some of the cleanest, best, and worst looks we saw on draft night. THE CLEAN IMAGN Williams just went with a single color palette, and sure he kind of looks like he just came out of a concrete mixer, but you have to appreciate the simplicity. He's not trying to do too much, He's just got a simple outfit going. That's a solid choice, and hey, grey is a good color on him. Go with what you know. IMAGN White was a bit different from Williams in that he went with an accent, and it worked. Three-piece suit, white undershirt, pink tie for some pop. Boom, brush yourself off and call it a day. IMAGN Same story as White. No matter what you think about the pick itself, Jones dressed up for it. Also, that is a delightfully awkward photo of him waving. IMAGN Oliver wants you to think he just got drafted to Wall Street, and he looks the part. Pinstripe three-piece suit, pocket square, dark tie to go with it. You've gotta respect it. IMAGN The 20th overall pick went with a bow tie, which is DEFINITELY a choice. But it's a simple, elegant look otherwise, and it turned out looking pretty clean and different. THE ECCENTRIC IMAGN Murray's suit, which was apparently inspired by "The Great Gatsby," sent a clear message: He's out here to win games and build a brand. The suit, which was emblazoned with "More than an athlete" on the inside, definitely signaled a big arrival to the NFL for Murray. All of the buzz around him paid off and he was the No. 1 overall pick, but it raises a question: What if he'd slid wearing that? IMAGN Christian Wilkins looks like he cut up a Saints color rush jersey and made a suit out of it that should not have ostensibly worked but this looks... good? He even wore his Clemson national championship ring. Also, his and Goodell's jumps on stage really put this thing to the test, but it's apparently practical too. IMAGN Now you might be (correctly) wondering: "why is Jacobs on this list? He didn't wear anything that outlandish." And to that I ask you: "WHAT ARE THOSE?!" IMAGN What's crazier than a crazy suit? Wearing a relatively toned-down suit and wearing STUDDED. SHOES. There's a good chance the Raiders weren't even going to draft Murray, but the ghost of Al Davis swooped down and told Jon Gruden "look at the studs. He must play in the Black Hole." THE BAD IMAGN Look, it's your night, who the hell am I to tell you what to wear? But Devin Bush, goodness gracious, what is that? That's almost too '90s for the '90s. He looks like he has a satchel sewn into the suit. He looks like he's wearing a sling. He looks like his tailor doesn't know where to put a belt. It's just a lot going on. DeAndre Baker: No. 30, New York Giants IMAGN IMAGN I'l probably get yelled at for this for being boring, and you know what? So be it. This guy just got drafted into the city with 5th Avenue, what could possibly go wrong? I just hope someone walked up to Baker and went "Hey, where'd you get your suit from?" Again, you deserve to wear what you want, but jeez. IMAGN You might be wondering why I've brought you here to Hockenson's wardrobe. He looks perfectly fine! He's even got that Iowa pride color scheme going on. But this photo DOES NOT TELL THE FULL STORY. IMAGN SHORTEN YOUR TIE, T.J.! THE ADORABLE Somehow, Josh Allen fell to No. 7, and the Jaguars got a package deal. IMAGN Allen brought his son on stage for easily the most adorable moment of the night, but can he get to the quarterback too?<doc-sep>
Michigan Wolverines linebacker Devin Bush was picked by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Pittsburgh traded the 20th pick, the 52nd pick and a 2020 third-round pick to the Denver Broncos to move up in the draft. But before the Steelers traded up to select Bush, the linebacker had already stolen the show with his unique outfit choice for the first round in Nashville. Bush's outfit and his emotional walk to the stage can be seen below. The linebacker, who is a former 247Sports Composite four-star recruit out of Flanagan High School in Hollywood, Fla., won the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Award last fall. Bush becomes Michigan's first top-10 pick since Jake Long was taken first overall in the 2008 draft. Bush had 79 tackles, 9 tackles for loss and 5 sacks in an All-American season last fall, and he emerged as a likely first-round pick before the offseason began. But strong testing at the NFL combine and Michigan’s Pro Day sent his stock even higher. Running a blazing 4.43 40-yard dash (97th percentile among linebackers in the NFL combine history), posting a 40.5-inch vertical leap (96th percentile) and 124-inch broad jump (89th percentile), Bush performed at a level so impressive, that teams were able to look past his 5-foot-11 height (third percentile) and relative lack of size. Though Bush left Michigan a year and one bowl game early, he still leaves a rather impressive mark on the Wolverines. After a season on the bench, he finished his two-year starting career with 182 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and even 15 pass breakups. “He’s had a stellar career,” said Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh in December. “He’s an All-American, someone who’s gonna have his picture up on the All-American wall. I think it’s gonna be ingrained in our minds of No. 10 running and hitting and making plays, sideline-to-sideline. I even said it earlier – you recruit players now, and you say, ‘He’s gonna be like Devin,’ or, ‘Could this guy be another Devin Bush?’ And you’re out there looking for that player.” Bush also drew praise from defensive coordinator Don Brown, who was most enthralled at Bush’s ability to operate in a variety of assignments. "You’re going to get a complete player,” Brown said this week. “They’re going to get a guy that’s going to compete against the run game. He’ll go in there and bang away at the inside run lanes. He’s fast enough to get on the perimeter. We used to just say, ‘alright, you got him.’ And he’ll cover anybody we used to ask him to cover.” The Steelers have been searching for a playmaker at linebacker since Ryan Shazier suffered a career-threatening spinal injury in December 2017. Pittsburgh hopes Bush's play on the field will raise eyebrows like his outfit did at the draft on Thursday night.
