It never hurts when your big brother is good at football. TJ Watt followed in the footsteps of his brother, JJ Watt, when he too was selected in the first round. Former No. 3 overall pick Joey Bosa‘s little brother is also going to be a first round pick, and he’s probably going to go higher than No. 3.

The Ohio State buckeyes had three defensive ends taken in the top 102 picks of the 2018 NFL Draft: Tyquan Lewis (No. 64 overall), Sam Hubbard (No. 77) and Jalyn Holmes (No. 102). Bosa had to fight for playing time in an extremely deep rotation. Even still, he managed 16 tackles for a loss and 8.5 sacks in 2017.

If things go well for Bosa next season, and there’s no reason to doubt they will, he’ll be in contention for the No. 1 overall pick. Superb pass rushers are hard to find and Bosa has already proven he can get to the quarterback in a hurry. Daniel Greco of NFL.com went as far as to say the Bosa duo might be the “best brothers in college football history.” NFL teams are going to want to get a piece of that.
