San Francisco 49ers defensive end
Nick Bosa is having an impressive rookie campaign and getting recognized for it. He's already won two NFC Defensive Player of the Week awards and can add two more honors to his resume.
Bosa has been named both the NFC Defensive Player of the Month and NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month.
The month isn't over for Bosa. He and his 49ers have one more game to play, on Halloween night against the Arizona Cardinals. Bosa has already recorded 16 tackles, nine for a loss, six sacks, and an interception in the month of October.
Bosa, the No. 2 overall pick by the 49ers, has racked up 20 tackles, seven sacks, a pass defensed, an interception, and a forced fumble this season.
Bosa's rookie campaign hasn't just been impressive enough to potentially earn him NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, but at its current pace, may earn him NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
"You just can't say enough. He's changed the entire culture," Analyst Brian Baldinger said Monday
on NFL Network. "Not of just the defense but of that entire team, and you can feel it. It starts with Nick Bosa, right now. Everybody is playing better on the team, I think, because of what Nick Bosa is doing."

We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a

In 2020, the San Francisco 49ers traded up from the No. 31 overall pick to the No. 25 spot with their sights set on a wide receiver brimming with potential.
