"If there's anything he'd like to re-test, then he'll go to the Ohio State pro day and re-test there," said John Bosa, whose son Joey is a standout defensive end for the Los Angeles Chargers and was the No. 3 overall pick in 2016. "But I'm pretty sure he's going to be pleased with everything he does at the combine.

"It was definitely one of the harder things I've went through in my life," Bosa said. "But it's past me now and I have to look forward."
