What It Means:

Bosa was the heavy favorite after his 10-plus sack rookie season. He had 60 total pressures in 2016, the most ever for a first-year player through 12 games. Bosa would’ve had bigger stats, but a contract standoff and hamstring injury cost him the first four weeks. When healthy, Bosa was an immediate force off the edge for the Chargers. The Chargers are moving to a 4-3 scheme in 2017, giving Bosa more snaps in even fronts and more attack-oriented responsibilities.

The Chargers ranked 10th-best in opponent-adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play this year due to budding cornerbacks along with a surging pass-rush behind Bosa.
