Junior defensive end Nick Bosa was named Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year last season despite playing far fewer snaps than might be expected from a star player. That’s because Bosa played on a line with three other standout defensive ends, so he was able to be an impact player for every snap he was on the field while still having time to rest and be fresh for the remainder of each game. Now, however, those three other defensive ends are departing for the NFL, leaving Bosa to lead the pack in what is likely his final collegiate season.
