SAN DIEGO -- A South Florida native, San Diego Chargers rookie defensive end Joey Bosa grew up rooting for the Miami Dolphins, and for good reason.
His father, John Bosa, and uncle Eric Kumerow played for the franchise in the 1980s.
Like his son, John Bosa was a 6-foot-4, 280-pound defensive end selected in the first round of the NFL draft. John was taken by the Miami Dolphins out of Boston College in 1987, but his pro career was derailed by consecutive, serious knee injuries.
