The Detroit Lions plan to use Reggie Bush as an option in the passing game, similar to how he was used with the New Orleans Saints.

Lions coach Jim Schwartz believes Bush could wind up catching between 60-80 passes, according to the team's official site.

Detroit running backs caught 97 passes last season with Joique Bell catching 52 passes for 485 yards.

Bush has caught 70-plus passes twice before during his first two seasons in the league with the Saints.
