Ogbah, Bean perform at National Football League combine

It hasn’t been a flawless combine for Bosa, though, as he ran the 40-yard dash in just 4.86 seconds on Sunday-10 of the last 11 edge rushers drafted within the first five picks logged faster times than that during their respective combines. “But I’ll discuss that with the teams and I bet it’ll be a little uncomfortable, but I gotta do what I gotta do”.

Jan 1, 2016; Glendale, AZ, USA; Ohio State Buckeyes defensive lineman Joey Bosa (97) leaves the game after being ejected for a targeting penalty during the first half of the 2016 Fiesta Bowl against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at University of Phoenix Stadium. John Bosa has another son, Nick, who will enroll at Ohio State as a freshman in June.

“I never see myself as a Joe”, he said. Longtime NFL executive and scout Gil Brandt said Bosa’s numbers are good “enough to get him to No. 1”. Could you believe for the third time now in a decade, they’ve done so poorly during the regular season they have yet another top-ten first-round draft pick? “There’s, of course, a lot of fantastic players in the draft and it’s going to be up to Tennessee to make that decision”.

“It shows that I really took that opportunity and didn’t let it affect me negatively, and let it help me grow as a person as a leader and as a player”, said Bosa, when asked how he responded to the suspension. Obviously coming to whatever team drafts me to help them win and eventually make it to the Super Bowl. “Maybe once I’m like 50, I’ll be Joe”.

“You’re pretty blown out by the time you get to the workout”, said Bosa, who revealed he had formal interviews with 13 teams.

In his collegiate career at Ohio State, Bosa totaled 148 tackles, 26.0 sacks and five forced fumbles. “But I think as a player if you don’t believe that then there’s kind of something wrong”. You re always trying to upgrade that ability on your football team.

Despite the dynamite DNA, Bosa said he didn’t grow up expecting to be in the discussion for the top pick.
