Bosa has the unique combination of team and individual accolades that the rest of the defensive ends of the 21st Century don’t. He played on winning teams and racked up individual stats and records better than anyone else on this list.

He also did it while starting out as a bit of an unknown. In three years, Bosa would make 148 tackles, 55 of them for a loss and 26 of them sacks, and he forced five fumbles.
