Former Ohio State Buckeyes star defensive end Nick Bosa is going to have some bragging rights over his older brother, Joey, at family dinners.

The elder Bosa went with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, but his younger brother did him one better, as Nick was selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the No. 2 choice in the 2019 NFL Draft In Nashville, Tennessee Thursday night.

In 29 career games for the Buckeyes, Bosa registered 77 total tackles, including 47 solo stops and 30 assists with 29.0 of those hits going for lost yardage. Bosa collected 17.5 sacks with two forced fumbles and one defensive touchdown.

Bosa was picked highly despite missing all but three of Ohio State’s games in 2018 because of a core muscle injury suffered in a Week 3 game against Texas Christian University at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas last September.
