Nick Bosa addressed his past social media posts after being selected in this year’s NFL Draft.
The San Francisco 49ers made Bosa the No. 2 overall pick in Thursday’s first round. His immense talent helped make him worthy of that selection.

Niners fans are no strangers to players expressing their strong beliefs, most notably Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid. This would certainly be nothing new but potentially something worth following.
