AWARDS & HONORS2019: AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, Pepsi

Rookie of the Year, Sporting News Rookie of the Year, PFWA Rookie of the Year, PFWA Defensive Rookie of the Year, PFWA All-Rookie Team, NFC Pro Bowl, NFC Defensive Player of the Month (October), Defensive Rookie of the Month (Oc-tober), NFC Defensive Player of the Week (Week 5 and Week 8)

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS• Registered 9.0 sacks in his rookie season, the 4th-most by a 49ers

rookie since 1982.

2020 HIGHLIGHTS• Notched 6 tackles and 1 FF vs. Arz. (9/13), knocking the ball loose

from Cardinals RB Chase Edmunds, marking his 2nd career FF.

GOLDMINE• Bosa’s father, John, a former

member of the Miami Dol-phins, encouraged sons Nick and Joey to try other sports like tennis, golf and baseball. However, Nick only had one sport in mind, and he let his parents know it. “Nick threw temper tantrums,” John said. After successfully convincing his parents to let him play foot-ball, Nick gave everything he had to the sport. Even as a kid on the field, he wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. Early in his football career, Cheryl watched from the sideline at practice as Nick approached a coach. “I find out later they’d put Nick with the offense,” she re-called. “And he walked up to this guy, totally by himself, tugged on his shirt and said, ‘I don’t want to play offense. I want to play defense.’”

Bosa is the 6th player since 1982 to record at least 7.0 sacks through his first 7 career games.

• At 22 years and 4 days old, became the 2nd-youngest player since sacks became an official statistic in 1982 to notch 3.0-or-more sacks in a game vs. Car. (10/27) [Colts LB Vernon Maxwell– 21 years and 321 days old; 3.0 sacks vs. Den. (9/11/83)].

The 147 total net yds. allowed are the fewest allowed in a postseason game in franchise history. It also marked the few-est total net yds. allowed in an NFL postseason game since 1/3/15 [Carolina held Arz. to 78 total net yds. (27 rushing and 51 passing)]. The 21 rushing yds. allowed by the 49ers defense is the fewest al-lowed in a postseason game in franchise history.

• Registered 4 tackles and 1.0 sack of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers vs. GB (1/19/20 - NFC-C). Became the first 49ers rookie to register 3.0-or-more sacks in his first 2 postseason games, since sacks be-came an official statistic in 1982.
