The Reclamation of Nick Bosa

When it comes to the Bosa brothers, Joey did almost everything earlier.

He was born first, which gave him a head start. Joey followed his uncle's footsteps to Columbus first, wore the 97 jersey, flashed as a freshman and then became impossible to ignore as a sophomore. Nick did all of that, too - but only after Joey left school.

Big Bosa was the B1G's Defensive Lineman of the Year, made the Pro Bowl and was the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year. Smaller Bosa did all of those things too, just later.

Examining the tragically narrow category of Bosas Who Played Football at Ohio State, Nick only notched one individual accolade earlier than Joey.
