The San Francisco 49ers star took home the No. 4 spot in the NFL Top 100 list, making him the highest-ranked defender in the league. The ranking should come as no surprise. Bosa won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in the 2022 season -- which is voted on by media members. The NFL Top 100 list is released annually and voted on by NFL players. The only players ahead of Bosa were Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. The next-closest defensive player was Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who was voted No. 9.

Last season, he notched a career-best and league-high 18.5 sacks. He was ranked No. 21 after the 2021 season.The...
