First jersey I got was a 99 Navy Bosa which was his rookie season and ever since he’s been my favourite charger. Where ever he goes he will smash it. Thank you for everything Joey⚡️💙 @jbbigbear #BoltUp https://t.co/5UNBEKDhsd

The third overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Bosa cemented his legacy with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers.
Bosa finished his rookie season with 10.5 sacks, helping him earn Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.
During his time with the Chargers, Bosa accumulated 72 sacks and five selections to the Pro Bowl. Now, Chargers fans will be seeing him on another sideline.
It's hard to imagine one of your favorites on another sideline; however, that is the unfortunate part of the business side of the NFL. Now, the Chargers have to add someone to the pass rush to help the fans quickly get over the loss of Bosa.
