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."
