McKnight's name strikes a chord with sports fans who remember the running back as a USC-bound high school football phenom hyped as "the next Reggie Bush." That label referenced the Trojans star who won the Heisman Trophy two years before McKnight entered USC in 2007.

He played for the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs before drifting out of the league in 2014.

For this week only, the NFL is allowing players to wear custom cleats without being fined. Bush currently plays for the Buffalo Bills, who face the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
The man who has reportedly admitted to killing McKnight -- 54-year-old Ronald Gasser -- has a history of road rage.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said in a news conference Friday that Gasser was released due to state statutes allowing a suspect's release during an active investigation. Louisiana has a "Stand Your Ground" law that says a person is justified in using deadly force if he "reasonably believes [it] is necessary to prevent the entry or to compel the intruder to leave the premises or motor vehicle."
McKnight was reportedly unarmed when he was shot.
Gasser is white and McKnight was black, giving the case a troublingly familiar racial angle. The NAACP registered objection to Gasser's release, which was also widely decried by observers on social media.
McKnight was working with mental health patients at a local hospital and eyeing an NFL comeback before he was killed, his brother told The New Orleans Advocate. He starred as a prep and graduated from high school in the New Orleans area.
Now McKnight's likeness takes the NFL field one last time, emblazoned on the cleats of Bush, the man to whom he once drew such lofty comparisons.
