The former Ohio State defensive end was named Tuesday by the Pro Football Writers of America as the NFL Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year, recognizing a season in which he has performed up to the hype and then some as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft.
In his first regular season with the San Francisco 49ers, Bosa started 14 of 16 games and recorded 47 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss, nine sacks, one interception, two passes defensed, two fumble recoveries and once forced fumbles.
