Buffalo Bills RB Reggie Bush, a former USC Trojan, was affected greatly by the killing of fellow USC alum Joe McKnight on Thursday afternoon.

To honor his friend’s memory, Bush will wear a special pair of cleats with a picture of McKnight on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders:

McKnight’s birth date (April 16, 1988) on the cleats is incorrect, but Bush addressed the mixup:

McKnight, a native of Terrytown, Louisiana, was a high-school star in the New Orleans area. He spent time with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs in his NFL career.

McKnight was 28 at the time of his death.
