49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa leads the NFL with 17 1/2 sacks despite missing one game and is tied for second in the league with 78 quarterback pressures, according to Pro Football Focus.
“It’s insane the level he’s playing at,” linebacker Fred Warner said."That’s a big reason why our defense is performing the way it is because we know that it takes all 11, the rush and the coverage work together and knowing that he’s on the field and has that opportunity to get home, you get stickier in coverage and you’re able to sit on routes and he’s just been playing out of his mind.”
It also has him as the overwhelming favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, to join Deion Sanders and Dana Stubblefield as the only 49ers to win the AP Defensive Player of the Year award. Almost no team has been able to slow him down outside of the Chiefs, who used jet sweeps and motion to slow him down, and the Buccaneers, who had Tom Brady getting rid of the ball quickly.
Niners tight end George Kittle said Bosa should be in the running for the MVP award as well as Defensive Player of the Year.
