EDGE Nick Bosa is expected again to be an integral part of the 49ers defense in 2021, but he’ll need help as he makes his way back from an ACL tear.
It’s amazing the San Francisco 49ers defense remained a top-10 unit last season despite suffering so many injuries, including that infamous season-ending ACL tear for the 2019 Defensive Rookie of the Year, EDGE Nick Bosa.
Bosa went from a 2020 candidate for the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award to a possible 2021 Comeback Player of the Year accolade after tearing his ACL in Week 2 last year against the New York Jets.
