Two San Francisco 49ers players—tackle
Trent Williams and wide receiver
Deebo Samuel—were named to the 2021 NFL All-Pro Team. Noticeably absent from the new list of All-Pros was defensive end
Nick Bosa, who finished behind T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett, Robert Quinn, and Maxx Crosby in the voting.
At least one person inside the 49ers organization felt the third-year pass rusher was snubbed.
"I definitely think Bosa should be there; there's no doubt about that," head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Friday. "I'm shocked that—I don't think people appreciate how good Bosa is, play-in and play-out. I've heard people talk about him for Comeback Player of the Year, and every time they say that, I can't believe he hasn't been mentioned in Defensive Player of the Year [talk]. So, that was a surprise to me."
Fans probably felt the same as Shanahan regarding the 24-year-old defender failing to make the 2021 NFL All-Pro Team. Bosa recorded 52 tackles, 21 tackles for a loss, 32 quarterback hits, and 15.5 sacks through his 17 games this season, per Pro Football Reference.
