Professional career

Pre-draft

Coming out of Ohio State, Bosa was projected to be the first overall pick in the draft by a majority of analysts and scouts. [9] Bosa received an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine as one of the top prospects at the draft. He completed all of the required combine drills and positional drills except for the 10 yard and 20 yard split. Bosa met and interviewed with 8 NFL teams at the combine, including the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets, New York Giants, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A week before the draft, Bosa was criticized by some due to his political beliefs and controversial tweets, such as calling Colin Kaepernick a "clown", expressing support for U.S. president Donald Trump, and "liking" a post on Instagram that included racial and homophobic slurs as hashtags. [10] [11]

Nick (left) with his brother Joey in 2019

His brother, Joey Bosa, also played college football at Ohio State before being selected third overall by the San Diego Chargers in the 2016 NFL draft. [53] Their father, John Bosa, was a first round pick by the Miami Dolphins in the 1987 NFL draft out of Boston College. [54] His uncle Eric Kumerow, cousin Jake Kumerow, grandfather Palmer Pyle, and great-uncle Mike Pyle, have also played in the NFL. He is the great-grandson of former Chicago Outfit leader Tony Accardo. [55]

Controversies

Bosa has been accused of racism and homophobia. [56] [57] [58] [59] [60] [61] These accusations stem from his social media posts, shares, retweets, and likes, as well as his actions both on and off the field. [56] [60] [62] Leading up to the 2019 NFL draft, in which Bosa was the second overall player selected, Bosa gained media attention for his posts, shares, retweets, and likes on Twitter and Instagram that contained racist and homophobic language. [56] [63] In response, Bosa deleted them, which he discussed at the time in at least one interview with ESPN and one interview with USA Today. [59] [64] [58] His posts criticized Beyonce and the film Black Panther, for example, as well as supporting then-President Donald Trump. [56] He had also liked posts by others that contained unambiguously racist and homophobic language and hashtags, including tweets where his friends and others use the "n-word"; a homophobic tweet about Michael Sam, who was the first publicly gay player to be drafted into the NFL; a tweet praising Trump's call for violence against peaceful protesters; multiple tweets that purport that illegal immigrants and refugees cause crime; and multiple Instagram posts with hashtags that included the "n-word", pro-rape language, and a homophobic slur. [56] [57] His controversial posts also included him calling former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick a "clown" for his protests against police brutality and racial inequality in the US, which he noted he "had to" delete because "[t]here is a chance I might end up in San Francisco." [59] [63] After indeed being drafted by the 49ers, Bosa apologized for the posts in a press conference. [59] [60] Since then, Bosa has received continued media coverage for other potentially racist actions, such as when Bosa gave one of his gloves to a young white fan while ignoring the pleading for his other glove by the adjacent young black fan, instead tossing the second glove into the stands in the opposite general direction, away from the young black fan.
