SANTA CLARA -- Nick Bosa was asked Friday if he knew what number he would wear during his rookie season with the 49ers.
“No, not yet,” Bosa answered. “I haven’t even thought about it. I’ll figure that out later.”
On Saturday, the answer became obvious. Bosa will wear No. 97, just as his did, John Bosa, wore with the Miami Dolphins, and he and his brother, Joey, wore at Ohio State.
The 49ers traded outside linebacker Dekoda Watson, who previously wore No. 97, to the Denver Broncos on Saturday, along with a sixth-round pick (No. 212 overall) for the Broncos’ fifth-round pick at No.
