SKULL SESSION: J.K. DOBBINS OVERCOMES ADVERSITY, GENE SMITH TALKS IMAGE AND LIKENESS BILL, AND JUSTIN FIELDS HAD A TOUGH ADJUSTMENT TO OHIO STATE
NICK BOSA – UNBLOCKABLE. Just three games into his NFL career, after not playing competitive football since his injury against TCU, Nick Bosa is the best pass rusher in the league.
From Brian Witt of
NBC Sports:
Believe it or not, three games into his NFL career, Bosa has graded out as the top pass rusher in the league, according to Pro Football Focus.
Bosa, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, has registered a 14.0 pass-rushing productivity grade, PFF's formula that places an emphasis on total pressures per pass-rushing snap. That 14.0 grade ranks as the best of all NFL edge rushers, and the top five consists of some standout company with 21.5 sacks between them.
...
Bosa has been improving on a game-by-game basis, and he's coming off his best performance yet in which he led San Francisco with seven pressures of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, the highest total of any 49er during Kyle Shanahan's tenure as head coach. This has all come after an offseason in which Bosa was significantly limited due to injury, but with San Francisco now enjoying its bye week, he believes he'll finally be at full strength coming out of it.
If Bosa is the most effective pass-rusher in the NFL at less than full strength -- three games into his career, no less -- just imagine what he'll be capable of moving forward.
I'll never forgive the universe for taking a full season of Nick Bosa and Chase Young killing quarterbacks in tandem, but maybe it's for the best because I'm quite certain Buckeye football games would have been slapped with R ratings towards the end of the season.
Unrelated, Bosa may be the most effective pass rusher in the NFL, but he ain't even the highest-graded rookie, thanks to Terry McLaurin.
Based on how this has been going the past few years, I've got a hunch a crystal ball of next year's NFL season includes some Chase Young and Jeff Okudah domination.
