The 49ers’ star-studded roster continues to receive respect from the NFL’s top analysts.

“Bosa was a dominant force all season long and racked up an absurd 27 total pressures in three playoff games, including 12 in a Super Bowl loss to Kansas City. He is one of the best all-around players in the game — at any…
