San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa just gave Trent Williams a ringing endorsement to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
Following practice on Friday, Bosa was seen talking to Garoppolo, with both players reportedly looking in disbelief (per NBC Sports). When asked what he was telling him, Bosa heaped praise on Williams.
“It definitely seems like he’s feeling great and playing really well,” the 49ers DE said. “I’m definitely confident in Jimmy’s left side. Not that the rest of the O-line isn’t great, but having Trent is going to be a huge, huge help for him.”
“I’ve definitely told him he’s going to have some time on the left side. Jimmy’s been spoiled with Joe and now Trent. So it doesn’t get much better.”
That's certainly high commendation from the second year defensive end. Bosa had a great rookie season, quickly becoming known as one of the best pass rushers in the league. He won the Defensive Rookie of the Year and was named to the Pro Bowl.
Moreover, according to recent reports, the battles between Nick Bosa and Trent Williams have been the most entertaining part of the 49ers' training camp thus far — with Williams getting the upper hand on most snaps. On most plays, Bosa has not been able to apply any pressure on Jimmy Garoppolo, with the quarterback only having to step up in the pocket once.
While there is this competition in training camp and both are trying to one up the other, the two are definitely glad they don't have to face each other in a real game. Come the regular season, both 49ers stars will be thankful to have the other on the same side.
