The San Francisco 49ers' second-year defensive end,
Nick Bosa, has debuted on the NFL Top 100 Players list, coming in at No. 17 on the 2020 version of the ranking. The pass rusher is the fourth of five 49ers players on this year's list and joins linebacker
Fred Warner, who came in at No. 70, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo at No. 43, and cornerback Richard Sherman at No. 28.
Bosa is the highest-ranked defender following his rookie season in the history of the NFL Top 100 Players.
The 49ers drafted Bosa out of Ohio State with the No. 2 overall pick in 2019. He registered 47 tackles, nine sacks, two passes defensed, an interception, and a forced fumble through 16 games in 2019 on his way to earning a Pro Bowl selection and being named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. He added four more sacks during postseason play, including one against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV.
Tight end
George Kittle is likely the final 49ers player on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2020. We just don't yet know where he will rank. We do know Kittle will probably be the highest-ranked tight end on the list as Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs came in at No. 18.
The NFL Top 100 Players list is voted on by players and is based on performance during the previous year and predicted performance during the upcoming season. The list is in its 10th season on NFL Network.
Two players — Kittle and pass rusher Dee Ford — represented the 49ers on last year's NFL Top 100 Players list.
Next: No. 28 - Cornerback Richard Sherman

NFL insider states the obvious regarding 49ers' talks with Brandon Aiyuk
ESPN insider Adam Schefter recently shared his insights on the situation surrounding San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during an appearance on the network's "NFL Live" show. Schefter clarified that while Aiyuk would like to remain with the 49ers, his priority is securing a contract that reflects his value, regardless of the team.
When questioned about Aiyuk's desire to stay with the team that selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Schefter responded, "Well, I think his desire to get paid is greater than his desire to stay in San Francisco, wherever that is. If the 49ers want to pay him, I'm sure he'd love to stay in San Francisco. If another team would like to pay him, I'm sure he'd like to go
