Nick Bosa is unofficially way farther from 49ers sack record than you think
Nick Bosa is rapidly climbing up the 49ers’ all-time sack leaderboard, but he has a long way to go before getting to No. 1.
Provided San Francisco 49ers All-Pro defensive end Nick Bosa continues to enjoy a healthy career, doesn’t completely suffer a meltdown in play and remains in a Niners uniform for the next few years, he’ll likely wind atop the franchise’s all-time sack list in the No. 1 spot.
Currently, as of the conclusion of the 2023 season, Bosa has 53.5 sacks ever since entering the league as San Francisco’s top pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
And that includes a zero-sack campaign in 2020 when Bosa suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 2.
Those 53.5 sacks may convince fans that Bosa is close to the top of the franchise’s leaderboard.
It’s not even half of the top leader, though.

When thinking about the 49ers’ all-time best pass-rushers and sack artists in franchise history, two other names in addition to Bosa probably come to mind for most Niners fans: Bryant Young and Charles Haley.
