Nick Bosa’s Defensive Player of the Year Gets Blatantly Forgotten by $142 Billion League but Fans Refuse to Follow Prompt

Last year, a historic moment unfolded as Nick Bosa, the 25-year-old defensive end for the 49ers, etched his name into the annals of football. With an impressive tally of 18.5 sacks, the ruthless DE secured the defensive player of the year title for his team. Additionally, he achieved his third Pro Bowl selection and earned his first-time All-Pro recognition. Despite these notable accomplishments, the same league he plays for seemed to overlook his contributions.

As the draft season reached its conclusion and only two months remained until the first game, fans across the country became consumed with match predictions and engaging in guesswork. In line with tradition, the NFL collaborated with fans by sharing a survey-like photo on their page. However, to the dismay of many, the defensive player of the year was conspicuously absent from the graph.

Nick Bosa undeniably deserved a spot

The league’s Instagram page posted a picture that placed TJ Watt at the top, with Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett standing side by side, just below Watt. They posed a question in the photo, asking, “Who will lead the league in sacks this season?” While both linebackers and the defensive end are exceptional athletes, based on last year’s statistics and fan opinions, Bosa definitely deserved a spot in the photo.

When examining the stats, it becomes evident that the 49ers’ DE holds the highest number of sacks compared to the other three players from last season. Even though Garrett and Parsons had more tackles and assisted tackles than Bosa, he surpasses Watt by a significant margin in every possible category.

Bosa not only recorded the most sacks but also contributed to making his team the top-ranked defensive team in the league last year. Moreover, he was featured as the NFC defensive player of the Month in November 2022. Therefore, it is clear why fans were upset about his absence from the photo.

Fans were furious about Bosa not being included

The league posted the photo with a caption, that read, “A QB’s worst nightmare 😱 Who ya got?” The first comment in the photo reads, “why is the DPOY not in this graphic 😭😭,” asking why the defensive player of the year was absent.

Another user crafted a sarcastic comment, and added, “Imagine not even having Nick Bosa on the graphic”

Another comment, in a similar sarcastic vein, read, “Maybe the DPOY?”

Although there were several fans who responded in support of the 49ers DE, there were definitely some who were quick to criticize him.

One of them wrote, “Nick bosa gonna eat this year omg”

Lastly, another user came in support of the Raiders DE and threw shade at Bosa, writing, “MAXX CROSBY and stop saying Nick Bosa, they’ll fold this year again”

The 49ers DE has shown exceptional improvement over the years at such a young age. Only time will tell if history repeats itself once more.
