Bosa claims of keeping it all clean by deleting objectionable tweets

Projected top-five NFL draft pick Nick Bosa admitted in an interview with ESPN that he has scrubbed his Twitter account clean of anything that could be considered political. Bosa, the former Ohio State defensive end, frequently had tweeted his support for President Donald Trump, and he also criticized former San Francisco 49ers quarterback-turned-social activist Colin Kaepernick.

But knowing he could wind up in a liberal city, such as San Francisco, where the 49ers hold the No. 2 pick, he chose to clean the slate. "I had to," Bosa told ESPN. "There is a chance I might end up in San Francisco."

In a now-deleted tweet, Bosa called Kaepernick a "clown." Bosa's junior season at Ohio State ended in the third week, when he suffered a core injury that required surgery. In two-plus seasons with the Buckeyes, he played in 29 games and had 17.5 sacks and 29 tackles for loss.
