2025 Pre-Season Rank #42, 2024 Pre-Season Rank #52,  2023: Pre-Season Rank #83. Peak Period: 2019-23

The explosive Nick Bosa is one of a handful of players who won the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year (2019) and later the AP Defensive Player of the Year (2022), a combination of trophies that can pave the way to a bronze bust.

The cornerstone of a defense that has been to two Super Bowls, Bosa’s five-year peak is impacted by an injury that held him to two Games in 2020.   When he is healthy, Bosa is among the best pass-rushers in football, though it is a position that needs constant attention for the Hall, as his stature has shrunk over the last 36 months, especially with last season's torn ACL.

This season is critical for his Hall of Fame chances, as depsite the DROY and DPOY, this is a hard Hall to get into.
