“Doing my job is, I think, more important than ever,” the eighth-year edge rusher said after the team’s final Week 0 practice.
COSTA MESA — Joey Bosa delivered a straightforward message Thursday afternoon. He stood behind a silver podium outside the Chargers’ locker room, dwarfing it, in fact. His muscular arms were all the more impressive as he gripped it tightly. His hair was trimmed short, his beard full. An awning shielded him from the blazing sun as he spoke after the final practice of Week 0.
“Obviously, winning Defensive Player of the Year would be an honor and all of that, but going out there with your team, with your friends, with your brothers that you’ve built the connection with, I think is a much more lasting accomplishment. I’ve won a state championship, I’ve won a national championship, so to be able to be the best in the world … it would be incredible.”
