Do you know the mother and son even have a ritual before every game? In an interview with WBNS 10TV, Cheryl shared, “He always, without fail, calls me two and a half hours before kickoff on game day. It’s a two-second phone. It’s ‘I love you, I’m thinking of you, I’ll see you after the game’, but it’s always without fail.” Besides his parents, Nick Bosa has another pillar of support, his brother and fellow NFL star Joey Bosa.
