He then visited Heinz Field, toured the Steelers practice facility, and met with his coaches and team personnel.
Bush was introduced to the media Friday at 5 p.m. on the South Side.
"As soon as I seen the trade, I looked at my phone immediately because I knew somebody was gonna call me, whether it was gonna be Kevin Colbert or Mike Tomlin. So as soon as that call came in, it said Pittsburgh and I answered it and that was that," Bush said. "Everybody here wants to be a winner. Everybody here is family-oriented. They want the best for each other."
Bush will make an appearance the Steelers Draft Party at Heinz Field on Saturday before he heads back home.
