Chargers fans know with Jim Harbaugh comes major hype for the team, and to no surprise, Joey Bosa thinks so too.
This is definitely no ordinary season for the Bolts. In fact, it’s been anything but ordinary. As Bosa enters Year 9, he is embracing and enjoying the new changes that this offseason has brought.
“I’m super excited, every year I’m excited,” Bosa said. “The beginning of every year there’s a lot of hope and excitement going into each season. You never know how it’s going to play out.
“When you get a guy like Coach Harbaugh, that has been there and won at a bunch of place, you know that he’s not testing it out for the first time,” Bosa continued. “He has a strategy that he knows that works and I think it’s easy to buy in when you have a guy like that.
“Winning a National Championship, going to a Super Bowl, wherever he’s been he’s been really successful,” Bosa added. “So to have a guy that comes in, lays the plan out for you and there’s no guessing, it feels nice.”
Bosa is eager for a chance to find success on the field which was difficult last season as he battled injuries. This season, the load is lighter for Bosa as the Chargers added veteran Bud Dupree.
“It’s easier when you have a great staff around you, you have a lot of great guys and give you that extra motivation to just not only perform well for yourself but also not let the man beside you down and perform well for them,” Bosa said.
“I think we have a stacked room and we all complement each other well,” Bosa later added. “I think Bud is a very different rusher than I am, I’m a different rusher than Khalil is, so we can all pick each others brains and learn things from each other.”
As the season progresses Bosa hopes to prove that his best performances are still ahead of him which would be quite impressive given he’s been in the league for almost a decade.
“I’m pretty confident in myself that my best years are still ahead of me,” Bosa said. “I think I still have a few more years of my physical prime left, so I think that combined with my experience and all the things I’ve been through, can really help me hopefully reach that next level.
Bosa later added: “I feel confident about how I’m feeling physically. I think I’ve been not forgotten, not around here, but maybe some people have forgotten the player I can be. I’ve always enjoyed proving people wrong, whoever that is. Obviously, that’s not the main driver, but I have felt a bit more motivation this offseason to really get back and make a big impact.”
