Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush is concerned about the NCAA's support for letting college athletes get paid for endorsements, saying in a recent ‘Playboy’ interview that kind of money without proper guidance is “going to destroy some people.”

Bush, who played 11 NFL seasons, said, “People just assume, ‘Well, you got all this money, so you're good.’ It's actually the opposite. The more money you have, the more danger you're in, because now you're a freaking open target for a lot of people.”

After his comments got attention online, Bush tweeted “this is not what I said nor the context I said it.”
