Nick Bosa in awe of new 49ers teammate's chiseled physique

While it might be difficult to wrap your head around amid a storm of Brandon Aiyuk trade rumors, the San Francisco 49ers have dozens of other starters chomping at the bit to get this team a Super Bowl. After losing some defensive playmakers, the 49ers signed Leonard Floyd to pair with All-Pro Nick Bosa.

Floyd has turned his career around, as the former Top 10 pick of the Chicago Bears went from a relative bust to a playmaker who has a championship ring on his finger thanks to his timely playmaking. The 49ers will need more depth up front after parting with Arik Armstead.

Even as Floyd prepares for his age-32 season, he is in the best shape of his career. Even Bosa, who seems to be in pretty decent shape himself, is in awe of his new teammate. Is another double-digit sack season in the works?

“Have you seen him up close?” Bosa said, via NBC Sports. “He’s pretty built. He’s about 245 [pounds], shredded, probably like five percent body fat, and he can run, so I think he’ll be just fine in the scheme and he’s proved that he can rush the passer.”

After totaling just 18 sacks in four seasons with the Bears, Floyd has recorded at least nine sacks in each of the last four campaigns, three of which were spent with the Los Angeles Rams. After a solid season in Buffalo, Floyd came back to California to go ring-chasing.

Floyd is not only a solid sack master with an above-average pressure rate, but he gets his sacks in meaningful games. Floyd has five sacks in nine postseason games, including one in the Rams' Super Bowl triumph over Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Floyd and Bosa are projected to be the starters at the edge, while 2022 second-rounder Drake Jackson will once again try to get back on track and former Panthers pick Yetur Gross-Matos will try to get a chance of scenery. Even without Armstead, that's a fairly solid foresome.

Time will tell if Floyd is able to take his ripped upper body and blend that with his trademark edge-bending style to pile up the sacks in San Francisco.
