Comparisons to Rookie of the Year Brother Still Premature Says Nick Bosa
Nick Bosa not looking for comparisons, but no one is going to listen.
Every 5-star prospect arrives at college with expectations, but very few of them also arrive with the familial expectations of an All-American and all-time great.
Such is life, however, for Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa, the younger brother of former Buckeye and reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Joey Bosa.
Expectations for Nick have essentially become an addendum to his name. He is "Nick Bosa, the younger brother of Joey Bosa." You know how lawyers use "Esquire" at the end of their name? This is Nick's Esquire and it carries with it a certain weight (usually around 275 pounds) and significance.
With the burden of those expectations, Nick still had a fantastic freshman season last year, picking up 29 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss, and 5.0 sacks rotating in off of the bench. His promise was seen each and every week.
The memories of Joey Bosa at Ohio State casts a heavy shadow, but Nick sees what his brother has done as lighting a path for him to now follow.
"On the field I’m trying to emulate what he does, honestly," Nick said recently. "We do a lot of things similar."
