Denver Broncos star Von Miller will once again be hosting a pass-rushing summit this offseason. This year's version will be conducted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a tweet by Miller, two San Francisco 49ers pass rushers —
Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead — will be in attendance.
Nick Bosa's brother, Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa, will also be in attendance. The Bosa brothers have been training together this offseason.
Other attendees include Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams, Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns, Chandler Jones of the Arizona Cardinals, Khalil Mack of the Chicago Bears, Shaquil Barrett of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Frank Clark of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Armstead recorded a team-leading 10 regular-season sacks last season while Bosa, a rookie at the time, racked up nine on his way to being named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
San Francisco in March signed Armstead to a five-year deal worth up to $85 million.

49ers' Fred Warner addresses Armstead's departure, Greenlaw's recovery, Super Bowl window
The news of Arik Armstead's departure from the San Francisco 49ers after nine seasons with the team shocked linebacker Fred Warner. Armstead, a former first-round pick, was an impactful force on the football field. However, his availability over the last two seasons forced the 49ers to reevaluate his contract, and when his salary could not be significantly reduced, the two sides parted ways.
"Huge surprise," Warner said of learning that Armstead was being released. "Ever since I've been here, we called him the blueprint for how to be a Niner. That was the longest-tenured Niner that's been here and a guy that's done it right through and through."
Warner has been in the NFL long enough to understand how the league works. Over the years, he's watched several
49ers add pass rusher in new 7-round mock draft
Marcus Mosher of The 33rd Team revealed his latest mock draft, which goes seven rounds deep and projects every selection for every NFL team. While most predict that the San Francisco 49ers will add an offensive lineman with their first selection, No. 31 overall, Mosher has the Bay Area team going in a different direction.
The writer and analyst has the Niners selecting former UCLA pass rusher Laiatu Latu in the first round.
"It wouldn't be a shock to see Laiatu Latu fall in the draft due to his medical history, but he is too good of a value to pass up here at No. 31," Mosher wrote. "The San Francisco 49ers have been searching for the right pass
