Happy Birthday, Nick Bosa!

Football In Blood

Bosa’s father played in the NFL. Sadly, his career ended early due to injuries. Nick’s older brother, Joey Bosa was born on July 11, 1995. Two years later, on October 23, 1997, Nick was born. Their father had reservations about his sons following in his footsteps when it came to playing in the NFL. Injuries had made his career, and life, difficult. He didn’t want his sons to experience that physical pain that came with being a professional football player. Their parents tried to involve them in other sports, less violent sports. But the Bosa boys were determined to play football.

Talent

Both the brothers would end up playing college football for Ohio State University. The brothers looked and played extremely similar. Their style of play and intensity were eerily alike.
