What Connelly Says about Joey Bosa

“Ohio State’s title-winning 2014 campaign is remembered primarily for late-season charges from Ezekiel Elliott and Cardale Jones, but Bosa was the team’s steadiest star, logging 21.5 TFLs and 13.5 sacks in his first of two All-America seasons.”

This seems about right for Bosa, though what he’s done in the NFL might make you wonder why he wasn’t even more dominant in college. He became a force immediately as a freshman through to the end of his career at Ohio State.
