4 Chargers players the Panthers should watch out for in Week 3
By Dean Jones
Joey Bosa – DE
Joey Bosa is one of the best pass-rushers in the business and he got paid as such this offseason with a bumper five-year, $135 million extension that included $105 million guaranteed.
Few would argue that Bosa is not worthy of such a big financial commitment. The defensive end has been revelation since entering the NFL as the No. 3 overall pick back in 2016 and his level of production in the first two weeks of the season has been nothing short of outstanding.
Bosa was a relentless force against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, giving star quarterback Patrick Mahomes a torrid time before the signal-caller eventually came through in the clutch.
This was a further indication of just what a sensational performer Bosa is. His level of consistency is exemplary and the pass-rusher has a rare ability to make others around him better.
The Carolina Panthers will be trusting right tackle Taylor Moton to keep Bosa quiet in Week 3. This is a mouth-watering matchup and one that could go a long way to determining the overall outcome.
Moton is one of the NFL’s brightest talents at the position and hasn’t put a foot wrong so far. Coming up against Bosa is his stiffest challenge to date and any mistake or lack of concentration will be punished.
