Maybe so but being further removed from the knee injury and the second injury being the groin is the better case scenario.

The knee didn't look like it hindered him at all at Ohio State, so if he heals close to 100% from the groin injury he should be as good as if he never had either injury...

I don't think it really matters since he never seemed to have any lingering issues from the knee and he should fully recover from his injury this year.

Saw the same article but didn't want it to delve into politics. As a Bengals fan I hope he doesn't end up in SF. F those guys. Haha.

What do you need water for, Sunshine?
Strong emphasis on the word "relatively"...
Kinda like saying that Hairball is a relatively good coach.

Nick Bosa intuitively drawn to sport that shaped his life, NFL draft future
Editor's note: The Choice is a four-part series that dives deep into four of the 2019 NFL Draft's top prospects, detailing how their early lives and decisions prepared them for this moment. First up in the series: Ohio State star Nick Bosa.
She completed a 45-minute drive to a community park 20 miles north of downtown Miami to deliver her two young boys to football practice. With a post-practice trip home awaiting her, she removed a folding chair from the GMC Yukon XL and settled in to observe.
This became Cheryl Bosa’s routine.
She dropped off, waited for practice to conclude, then drove her sons back home. But what she witnessed on this day a decade-and-a-half ago was a little more memorable, a foreshadowing of the journey her youngest son, Nick, would take toward Day 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Nick Bosa, the Ohio State defensive end, was widely considered the top candidate for the No. 1 overall pick for most of the past year. He likely will be a top-two selection, even after sustaining a groin injury early in his junior season, undergoing surgery and withdrawing from school in November to concentrate on his rehabilitation.
There are twists and turns for every prospect along the way toward the draft. Bosa’s play as a dominant player speaks loudly, and his on-field production far outweighs any controversy that might arise from him expressing his personal views. His opinions and beliefs came under additional scrutiny last week when he admitted in an ESPN interview that he began to suppress his political preferences because his conservative views seemingly are in conflict with the democratic-leaning San Francisco Bay Area.
Bosa could end up with the 49ers, the owners of the No. 2 overall pick, and team sources indicate there is nothing about him that gives the organization reason for concern. After all, when contemplating how Bosa might fit into a diverse workplace, all that's required is a little homework into the genesis of his football career and how he bonded with peers and coaches of every background and race at all steps of his amateur career.
Born to play this game
The youngest son of Cheryl and John Bosa, Nick knew exactly what he wanted at 7 years old.
He knew he wanted to play football, and he was successful in not accepting his parents’ decision to delay his enrollment in a youth football league for another year.
Not only did he know he wanted to play the sport, he knew the exact role he was born to play.
On this early day of her son’s football life, Cheryl paid particularly close attention. From her vantage point far across the field, she saw Nick approach one of the coaches.
He walked up to a man in an untucked shirt and got his attention the only way a kid his size knew. Then, young Nick looked straight up and said something. The coach, looking down at a boy half his size, could be seen listening and nodding his head. Then, the coach pointed in a direction that Nick immediately went bounding toward.
“I find out later they’d put Nick with the offense,” Cheryl Bosa recalled. “And he walked up to this guy, totally by himself, tugged on his shirt and said, ‘I don’t want to play offense. I want to play defense.’ ”
The coach granted his young player’s wish and sent him to practice with the defense. Most kids his age dream of scoring touchdowns. Nick Bosa yearned for strip-sacks.
“This is bizarre stuff,” his mother said. “How does he even know?”
Nick Bosa knows football.
He knows football just like his dad, just like his uncle, just like his older brother. Those three were all NFL first-round draft picks. Next week, Nick will join them in that select company.
The kid, now 21, is a refined, sharper, more-advanced version of the time-honored family model. He has everything an NFL team would want in a defensive end: size, strength, quickness, athleticism, balance, tenacity and a pure love of the art of rushing the passer.
“That’s just deep down,” he said. “I think since I was little, just watching it, seeing what my dad did in the NFL. I think that’s just something you have instilled in you. It’s just a work ethic I’ve always had.”
