'I've been eating a ridiculous amount lately': Inside Joey Bosa's quest to bulk up

COSTA MESA, Calif. – Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa spent his offseason eating until he was uncomfortable.

Then he ate some more.

“Eating isn't really enjoyable these days,” Bosa said. “It's more so just part of the job.”

The calories consumed by Bosa -- he estimates between 4,500 to 5,000 per day -- were all part of a well-constructed plan to enable him to pack pounds onto his 6-foot-5 frame as prepares for his eighth NFL season.
