At Big Ten Media Days in Chicago, Ohio State linebacker Raekwon McMillan said Buckeyes freshman Nick Bosa "walks, talks and acts" like his older brother Joey. 

On Sunday, as Ohio State's freshmen and newcomers took the field for the first time, we found out at least two of these things were true. Nick looks almost identical to his brother Joey, donning the same No. 97, and his on-field mannerisms were eerily similar, as well.

Joey Bosa was one of the best defensive players in Ohio State history. He recorded 26 career sacks and 51 tackles for loss throughout his three-year career as a Buckeye before being selected No. 3 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers.

There are big shoes to fill for Nick, but Sunday showed he's more than capable — at least physically.
