Pro Football Focus released its annual top 25 players under the age of 25 for the 2022 season. Deebo Samuel is no longer eligible despite an All-Pro season as he turned 26 this past January.
The 49ers took Samuel in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. However, the player they took in the first round of the same draft, Nick Bosa, is two years younger than Samuel, making him eligible for the list.
Bosa, in a surprise to nobody, topped the list:
1. EDGE NICK BOSA, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Bosa racked up 47 tackles, nine sacks, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and an interception in 16 games and 14 starts across his rookie season.
