Nick Bosa sacked quarterbacks an NFL-high 18 ½ times this season, earning the 49ers’ star the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award at Thursday night’s NFL Honors show in Phoenix.
Bosa, 25, is only the third 49ers player to win that honor, joining Deion Sanders (1994) and Dana Stubblefield (1997). Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones and Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons were this season’s other finalists.
