Nick Bosa is the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first Buckeye to win the award since Randy Gradishar in 1978.
Bosa is the second Buckeye to ever win the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award, joining former Ohio State and Denver Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar, who won the award in 1978.
Bosa wins the award after a dominant 2022 season in which he led the NFL with 18.5 sacks and 48 quarterback hits. With Bosa leading the way up front, the San Francisco 49ers led the NFL in points allowed per game and yards allowed per game while going 13-4 in the regular season – finishing the season with 10 straight wins – and making a run to the NFC Championship Game before falling to the Philadelphia Eagles.from the AP’s panel of voters.
Going into his fifth year in the NFL, Bosa is expected to negotiate a contract extension with the 49ers this offseason, though he is under contract for one more year on a fifth-year option. Winning the NFL Defensive Player of the Award will only bolster his case for receiving a massive new contract that could make him the league’s highest-paid defensive player.
