Sean Payton backs "explosive" CJ Spiller

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has revealed that he considered signing Reggie Bush, but CJ Spiller was his priority.

Payton conceded that Bush would have been a good fit for the Saints in 2015, but he couldn't turn down the opportunity of landing Spiller.

"With a player like [Bush], it's more about do we have a vision of exactly how we'd use him and I think we did," Payton said, according to The Advocate.

"But, again, a few days later, Spiller is taking a visit, so it just sorted out in a way that was a little unique. He's physical, he's the most explosive player on the field a lot of times when you're watching him."

Payton also credited the 27-year-old and his agent for choosing the best for him rather than the move that offered the most money.
