Nick Bosa will lead the 49ers in sacks in 2023, barring something catastrophic or an unforeseen breakout season. Given the ferocious defensive line starters and the attention they will demand, Bosa will vault into the thick of another Defensive Player of the Year race. Steve Wilks will find new ways to create pressure and have fun playing with his shiny new toys.
The question is: Who will finish behind Bosa in 2023?
The smart money would be on the 49ers’ prize of the offseason, Javon Hargrave. Following a season-high 11-sack season in 2022, why bet against Hargrave?
