NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah shared this week that he was on the plane with Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa after their win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. It was Jeremiah who informed Bosa that his younger brother,
Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers, had just picked off Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen.
The excited Joey was so proud of his younger brother. But he jokingly complained that, of course, Nick had to upstage him on a day when he too had an impressive outing, which included two sacks against the Bears.
Nick Bosa proved on Sunday that he is a special player. It's hard to believe that he's a rookie and not a seasoned veteran because he looks like he's been terrorizing opposing quarterbacks for years.
Bosa's teammate, defensive tackle D.J. Jones, joined
95.7 The Game on Tuesday and was asked when he realized the rookie was going to be special.
"When I first saw him in person, his frame, he's like a Greek god," Jones told Damon Bruce, Ray Ratto, and Matt Kolsky. "Just like a Greek god-like frame. I mean, he's mad athletic. He's strong. Really when I first laid eyes on him, it was like, 'Who is this?'"
Jones was asked if there is any player he feels is comparable to Bosa or is the rookie so unique that there isn't a proper comparison.
"He's just so special," Jones responded. "I haven't seen anybody like him. This past game, we were all on the sideline saying, 'I've never seen a performance like this.' Three sacks, interception, the return was better than the interception. Man, it's crazy.
"There's nobody I can compare him to. Of course, his brother, but he's a man of his own."
Bosa showed on Sunday that he is a complete player capable of taking over a game and even, at one point, ran stride for stride with the Panthers' star running back,
Christian McCaffrey.
"He's an athlete," Jones said. "If you've seen his legs, he can run, he can jump. I feel like he can do it all, and I feel like he's just getting better week by week."

The decision to trade up in the 2021 NFL Draft and select quarterback Trey Lance could have had significant consequences for general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan. With the team lacking first-round picks in the last two drafts due to this move, and Lance no longer on the roster after being traded to the Dallas Cowboys before last season, it's clear the gamble didn't unfold as expected.
Lynch held his annual pre-draft press conference on Monday, reflecting on the decision to take such a big chance on Lance. While such a bold move might have jeopardized jobs elsewhere, Lynch and Shanahan were blessed with some good fortune in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Acknowledging the support of the team's ownership, Lynch stated, "They believe in Kyle and I, and our
The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.

The San Francisco 49ers are hosting several draft prospects this week as the deadline for pre-draft visits draws near. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, the team will host former Western Kentucky wide receiver Malachi Corley on Wednesday.
Corley is expected to be a Day 2 pick. San Francisco owns two selections on Day 2—the No. 63 overall pick in the second round and the No. 94 overall pick in the third round. Currently, the receiver is visiting with the Seattle Seahawks.

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
