Joey Bosa

Chargers and Buckeye fans alike know just how much of an impact having a Bosa on your team makes. Joey Bosa specifically, is one of the best defensive linemen in the game after three seasons with the Chargers.

His explosiveness off the ball and quick hands make it almost impossible for any offensive lineman to block him one on one. Players who do this create a huge dilemma for opposing offenses as they have to make a choice.

Either they double Bosa and create vulnerabilities at other spots on the line, or hope that Joey doesn’t do too much damage.  This makes it much easier for a talented defense to get at the quarterback.

Make no mistake though, Bosa still puts up great numbers every season. Missing some significant time last season due to injury Bosa still recorded 5. 5 sacks and seven tackles for loss in just seven games.

The season prior, Bosa sacked the quarterback 12.5 times and had 70 total tackles in 16 games. If Bosa can enjoy a full season in 2019, look for the 2019 numbers to be his best yet.

Now for the best running back in the NFL.
