How Does Joey Bosa Compare to Other tOSU DLs?

[Jaxbuck]

If we're including offensive players I'm taking Pace #1.

I wouldn't argue that too much and kind of puts in perspective the level of greatness Bosa achieved imo.

 

[MaxBuck]

Joey Bosa and Will Smith are the two best D-linemen I've personally seen at tOSU. Vrabel, Big Daddy and Spellman round out the top 5.

The only other guy I've seen that was dominant as Bosa (and was himself an overall#1) was Wilkinson.

Big Daddy had about 1/10th of Bosa's motor/dedication/work ethic and I think I am being kind.

If you were drafting an all time OSU team and didn't start with Bosa who would you take?

Agreed. When you combine motor, dedication and work ethic, Bosa has it all, and has been the Only OSU D lineman to put it all together. Big Daddy definitely didn't play to his ability all of the time(even had that problem in the NFL).
And yeah, if I were drafting an All time OSU team Bosa would be my second pick after Pace. A dominant LT and DE will win you a lot of games

My first.pick is Spelman no doubter. Bosa would be my second pick on D. Then Tatum.

I think that not enough time has passed since he last played to judge his place in the greatness pantheon. He's certainly one of the best, though.

When you consider versatility and dominance against both the run and pass-i don't think there's any question he's #1.

Side note-who else loved when Speilman ranked him as 2nd at any defensive position behind Antoine Winfield?

Tatum Spielman Bosa Kat Winfield

#1 in my book because he can play both inside and outside and drop back into pass coverage when called upon. He was extremely athletic and you cannot say that for most guys that play inside and outside.
