3. Nick Bosa is easily the No. 1 NFL prospect

Can Nick Bosa continue his hot start to the season? The presumed No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NFL draft was dominant against the Scarlet Knights’ offensive line.

Bosa picked up five tackles and a sack in the dominant win. Rutgers didn’t have an answer for him as he made plays in the backfield all game long and finished with three tackles for a loss.

How will TCU contain Bosa? Rutgers showed that whether you are blocking him one-on-one or having a running back chip him, he can still get to the quarterback at a moments notice.

The best way to counter Bosa’s ability off the edge is to use a lot of run-pass options to try to slow down his aggressiveness. If the Horned Frogs tip their hand on the overall strategy on first and second down, Bosa could have another monster performance.
