49ers' Nick Bosa mentoring young defenders while trying to reclaim his own dominance
Briefly

Nick Bosa stepped up his vocal leadership at 49ers training camp and actively mentored rookie defenders, emphasizing attack and technique on every rep. He aims to recapture the dominant pass-rush performance that produced 18 sacks and a 2022 Defensive Player of the Year honor. Bosa seeks to be regarded among the league's best while stating a focus on becoming better and helping the team rather than chasing recognition. He acknowledged the NFL's pursuit of elite pass rushers but said he is concentrating on improvement. Young linemen such as first-round pick Mykel Williams have received and applied his guidance.
No matter what you do when you line up, you may step wrong, but regardless of what you do, just get off the ball. I started to do that and it just came to me. Every rep I take, Just get off the ball.
Sign him up for more sackaroonies. That would definitely be something I'm aiming for. I mean, I'm aiming for everything. I've reached the pinnacle of I've won Defensive Player of the Year, not that that's on my mind all the time of doing it again. I just want to be dominant and I want to be really thought of as one of the best you'd look for in his league among your peers coaches and players.
Obviously you have to get stats and be dominant to be thought of in that category. I'm not losing sleep over it. I'm losing sleep over trying to get better and help this team.
