DE Joey Bosa (Def ROY, 3x Pro Bowl, Los Angeles Chargers)

The 10 best NFL rookies for 2016

There are a lot of great rookies, but these 10 stand above the rest.

We're still four months away from the start of the NFL regular season, but it's beginning to feel more and more like football season with the draft in the books. Rosters are starting to take shape with rookie minicamps taking place across the league this weekend.

Not every rookie will start from Day 1, but there are plenty that will -- and a handful that are sure to stand out above the rest in 2016. Here are the 10 best rookies for next season, in no particular order.

Joey Bosa, DE, San Diego Chargers

Bosa flew somewhat under the radar in the weeks leading up to the draft as he's not viewed as a dominant pass rusher. Instead, he's a versatile defender that can line up anywhere across the Chargers' defensive line. His numbers at the end of the season won't be eye-popping and he won't record 10-plus sacks, but he's a stout run defender. Winning Defensive Rookie of the Year will be a challenge because it's a numbers-based award, but Bosa's impact will certainly be felt in Year 1 with the Chargers.

I love how they talk about Ramsey saying he only had 3 interceptions in his entire career but go on to say he could get def rookie of the year if he gets 4 interceptions as a rookie? Couldn't manage 4 in 3 years in the ACC but he'll get 4 in 1 in the NFL?

Good read.

One great part:

President of Football Operations John Spanos: “One of his prior years’ impact plays I really remember came in 2014 against Penn State. The game went to double overtime. Fourth down. Game on the line. Ohio State needs a stop to win the game, and he takes the running back trying to block him and literally sacks the quarterback with the back of the running back. Just drives him right into the pocket. Game over.”
Loved that play.

JOEY BOSA SKIPS CHARGERS MINICAMP AMID CONTRACT DISPUTE

71438_h.jpg,qitok=kMBkA3vQ.pagespeed.ce.4b7YRt6hQ4.jpg


San Diego Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa and New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee are the only two of Ohio State's 12 drafted players without an official rookie contract.

Both participated in their teams' organized offseason activities, but Bosa took his negotiations to a new level Tuesday by skipping Chargers minicamp.

The No. 3 overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft has impressed teammates and coaches alike, but according to The San Diego Union-Tribune, Bosa's camp and the Chargers remain far apart due to offset language and signing bonus disbursement.

Adam Schein absolutely scorched Joey today about this. (And his immediate prior comment related to his prediction that EZE will be Rookie of the Year, so it ain't Buckeye Hate.)
