Return of the Empire: 49ers snatching chains at The Linc

“I think he’s the epitome of unselfishness,” defensive end Nick Bosa said about Samuel Sunday. “He got paid and obviously that comes with a lot of pressure to be the guy. And when you have so many dudes, you’re not going to get those opps very often. But I love the fact that he can talk and set the stage and walk into a hostile environment and just thrive. That’s what greatness is made of, for sure.”
