Joe Staley is still calling Justin Smith the strongest defensive lineman he’s ever faced

A question hit Twitter the other day via WIllie Anderson, a pro bowl tackle who played for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens. A question to offensive lineman. A question asking who the strongest defensive lineman they’ve ever faced was.

During San Francisco 49ers training camp, it was documented that rookie defensive end Nick Bosa was giving Staley all sorts of issues. Oh and this started on Day 1 of training camp. Staley has seen quite a bit in his NFL tenure and he’s also considered one of the best offensive tackles in the league so I’d like to think his opinion carries some weight.
