Nick Bosa Named ESPN Preseason All-American

Nick Bosa collected another preseason All-American honor on Tuesday, this time getting a selection from ESPN.

This is the third major preseason All-American honor for Bosa this offseason as the Buckeye defensive tackle was already named an All-American by Sports Illustrated as well as CBS Sports.

From ESPN.com:

Bosa's numbers are impressive in their own right. He led Ohio State last season with 8.5 sacks, 16 tackles for loss and nine QB hurries. But then remember that Bosa hasn't been a full-time starter and has shared reps on a deep defensive line, and there's the potential for those stats to improve exponentially in 2018 is high. His older brother, Joey, blossomed into the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL draft after his junior year. Nick could easily follow suit.

Pro Football Focus has identified Bosa as the top pass rusher in college football, by quite a large margin, and he's already projected by many as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
