Nick Bosa

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa has taken home the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award after leading the lead in sacks with 185.

The former Ohio State pass-rusher received 46 out of 50 first-place votes to win the overall vote by 237 points to the 101 picked up by runner-up Micah Parsons. Bosa followed in his brother Joey's footsteps by winning Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2019 but just two years after tearing his ACL has now gone one step further. Featuring on a 49ers defense that gave up the least yards in the NFL, Bosa followed up 2021's effort by leading the league in sacks and quarterback hits this year, also forcing two fumbles.

Thursday night was a good night to be a former Ohio State football player. Two Buckeyes picked up major NFL Awards for their great seasons.

He was a one-man wrecking crew on the defensive line. He also got the big one, winning Defensive Player of the Year. Wilson was the 10th overall pick in the draft and was a superstar from the moment he stepped on the field for the Jets. He finished the season with 51 tackles, a whopping 18.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. He has shown the ability to be a true number-one receiver in the league and is going to be really good once he gets a decent quarterback. The main competition for that award was his former Buckeye teammate Chris Olave.
