Fred Warner, Richard Sherman shocked by disrespect toward 49ers pass rusher Nick Bosa

San Francisco 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa was selected to his second Pro Bowl. However, many were surprised that he wasn't named an All-Pro after racking up 52 tackles, 21 tackles for a loss, 32 quarterback hits, and a career-high 15.5 sacks, doing so after returning from an ACL injury.

Two players who have played with Bosa—one current teammate and one former teammate—are shocked by the level of disrespect toward the talented defensive end's accomplishments during the 2021 season.

"Bosa had an unbelievable year, never going to get enough credit," cornerback Richard Sherman said during a discussion with linebacker Fred Warner on The Richard Sherman Podcast. "Fifteen-and-a-half sacks, and they act like he had five. My goodness.

"You all not going to give him first-team All-Pro? You all not going to give him Comeback Player of the Year? I hear you with [Bengals QB Joe Burrow]. I hear you, but not one [vote]? You all gave [Cowboys QB] Dak Prescott a few. Come on, now."

In the All-Pro voting, Bosa fell behind T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett, Robert Quinn, and Maxx Crosby. Bosa's head coach, Kyle Shanahan, was also shocked by the lack of respect Bosa garnered this past season. Shanahan couldn't believe his defensive star didn't earn an All-Pro selection and thinks he should have been in the discussion for other NFL honors.

"I definitely think Bosa should be there; there's no doubt about that," Shanahan said in January. "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."

Warner also expressed some disbelief during the discussion with Sherman.

"He should have been first-team All-Pro," Warner told Sherman. "He didn't even get second-team All-Pro, so the disrespect just keeps coming for him. He'll get his."

He'll get his, indeed. Bosa is eligible for a contract extension and will likely become the NFL's highest-paid defender. Most believe that will make him the NFL's first $30-million-a-year defender.

"No doubt. He'll get it where it matters most, and that's his pockets," Sherman commented. "I hear you. He's got to control all the rest of it, but they going to give him what he's just due."

With the initial flurry of free agency in the books, respected draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah unveiled his latest mock draft, projecting teams' potential moves in the 2024 NFL Draft. While many fans questioned ESPN analyst Mel Kiper projecting Washington offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten to the 49ers with the No. 31 overall pick, Jeremiah's choice for the Bay Area team may receive a warmer reception. Despite the Niners adding defensive ends via free agency, Jeremiah has San Francisco using their first-round pick to add former Penn State pass rusher Chop

Leonard Floyd is eager to begin working with his new San Francisco 49ers coaches and teammates. In free agency, the team signed the former Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams pass rusher to line up opposite star defensive end Nick Bosa, providing a boost to a defensive front that was inconsistent in 2023. Floyd matched his career-high with 10.5 sacks last season with the Bills, a statistic that would have tied with Bosa for the 49ers' team-high in 2023. In a recent interview with team reporter Lindsey Pallares, Floyd was asked how he believes his skillset complements Bosa's. "I believe our skill sets will complement each other well," Floyd responded. "We both been guys who've

Daniel Jeremiah explains why 49ers could still address pass rush in NFL Draft

Mock drafts will never please everyone, especially when they solely focus on the first 32 selections without offering perspective on what might come beyond the first round. Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team. Why the skepticism from fans? The 49ers' free agency focus has been on revamping their defensive front. After allowing Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and others to depart for other organizations, the team addressed last season's inconsistent play by adding defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, trading for defensive tackle Maliek

Kyle Shanahan explains why 49ers promoted Nick Sorensen to defensive coordinator

After Steve Wilks's dismissal, the San Francisco 49ers had several options for their vacant defensive coordinator position. Although former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley was considered for the role, he ultimately joined the coaching staff as the assistant head coach under head coach Kyle Shanahan. He will focus on game plan preparations while offering his experience to the team. Nick Sorensen, the team's defensive pass game specialist, was awarded the defensive coordinator position. Shanahan opted for an internal candidate, valuing Sorensen's familiarity with the staff and the defensive system. When asked what qualities Sorensen demonstrated to prove he's ready to call plays for the defense, Shanahan explained, "He's worked with a lot of people
