    The San Diego Chargers have selected defensive end Joey Bosa out of Ohio State with the third pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

    Bosa, an All-American and two-time Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year, battled against double — and sometimes triple — teams all season, and still managed to contribute five sacks and 16 tackles for loss. Over the course of his three-year college career, Bosa racked up 26 sacks and 51 tackles for loss.

    At the Combine, Bosa's 40-yard dash time of 4.86 was slower than expected and around the middle of the pack for his position group, but he fared well in other events. His three-cone drill time of 6.89 seconds was second-best among all defensive ends, and his 4.21-second 20-yard shuttle was tied for second-best in his position group.

    In Bosa, the Chargers are getting a NFL-ready edge rusher with uncanny quickness and really clean technique. Bosa's speed and understanding of how to use his strength and skill to his advantage made him nearly impossible to contain in college.
