Nick Bosa and Chase Young laughed about getting a combined sack together in their 49ers reunion

Just like old times at Ohio State for Nick Bosa and Chase Young.

Adding Chase Young at the NFL trade deadline was the definition of the rich getting richer. Even amid a three-game losing streak, the San Francisco 49ers did not necessarily need to add a pass-rusher like Young. But adding someone of his ability undoubtedly made the San Francisco front seven more dangerous in a Super Bowl push. It also reunited Young with former Ohio State teammate Nick Bosa, who used to collapse pockets together all the time with the Buckeyes.

Early in the second quarter, during the 49ers’ matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, we received a great flashback of the destruction Bosa and Young once created together on a weekly basis.

As Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed his drop, both Bosa and Young were busily humbling both Jaguars starting offensive tackles. They wound up meeting Lawrence together for a devastating sack (a half-sack for each) that now feels like a preview of what the duo will accomplish together in the NFL.

Fittingly, Bosa and Young laughed about the combined sack on the 49ers’ bench after the fact:

Look, any time you can pair two former No. 2 overall picks together on the same defense, that’s an opportunity you can’t pass up. It looks like reuniting Bosa and Young is already paying off dividends for the 49ers.
