Larry Johnson knows Joey Bosa well, having coached him on the defensive line at Ohio State the past two years, and Johnson said Wednesday he’s confident the defensive end won’t sit out this NFL season, despite the current contract impasse with the San Diego Chargers.
“I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think he’s going to play, I do,” Johnson said after Ohio State’s practice Wednesday. “I believe he’s going to camp and play, or show up.”
That’s despite the case of Bosa and his contract holdout from the San Diego Chargers, who made him the third overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, taking another curious turn Wednesday when the Chargers withdrew their latest offer and said Bosa now likely won’t be ready for a full season.
