Bosa is coming off his second season in the NFL, in which he recorded 70 total tackles, 12.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. In the process, Bosa set the record for most sacks in his first 20 career NFL games.
Ranked 100th on last year's list after winning Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in his first season out of Ohio State, Bosa has now recorded 23 total sacks in his first two NFL seasons.
While NFL Network's countdown is ongoing, it was already revealed that Ohio State has eight total selections on this year's list – the most among all schools – making Bosa the top-ranked Buckeye this year. Carlos Hyde (No. 97), Malcolm Jenkins (No. 96), Marshon Lattimore (No. 82), Michael Thomas (No. 81), Ezekiel Elliott (No. 54), Cameron Heyward (No. 48) and Ryan Shazier (No. 47) were the other Buckeyes to make the top 100.
