The former Ohio State star leads the NFL in QB pressures

The former Ohio State star leads the NFL in QB pressures

How Ohio State The current defensive front continues to receive questions regarding his lack of sacks and the pressure he is putting on this season. One former Buckeyes edge rusher is dominating at the next level.

Nick Bosa was the team’s leading pass rusher San Francisco 49ers for a long time. This season was no different.

Although Bosa has allowed just 4.5 sacks this season, he ranks only 20th in the league in quarterback pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. In eight games, Bosa had 46 pressures.

That’s one more than before Wolverine from Michigan AND Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson. Hutchinson’s 45 catch is extremely impressive considering he accomplished it in five games before suffering a season-ending injury.

Zach Allen z Denver Broncos and Jonathan Greenard z Houston, Texas they are the only players who have exerted more than 40 pressures on the team this season.

As Bosa looks to continue to pressure opposing quarterbacks, he will attempt to terrorize Baker Mayfield and the team Tampa Bay Buccaneers Next. After this game, the 49ers will have a tough three games where they will have to face Liverpool Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers AND Buffalo Bills.

For the 49ers defense to be successful in the coming weeks, Bosa’s presence will need to be felt.

Pressure is good because it prevents opposing quarterbacks from having time to play. If Bosa starts turning more pressure into sacks, he still has a real chance to lead the league in sacks this season.

However, he will have to catch up as the great Dexter Lawrence II New York Giants leads with nine.
