The Arizona Cardinals had Nick Bosa as the best overall prospect in the 2019 NFL draft, but they picked Kyler Murray at No. 1 given their need at quarterback. The San Francisco 49ers owned the No. 2 pick that year.

“When Kliff Kingsbury and I got together to go to see players and have dinners, we went to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and had dinner with Nick Bosa prior to the draft. And loved him, obviously. Our highest-graded guy on the board. Amazing in every way,” former Arizona GM Steve Keim told Colin Cowherd.

“He puts his arm around me and Kliff Kingsbury, both of us, in basically a headlock,” Keim said. “And he said, ‘I think you guys are going to end up taking that little quarterback, and if you do,’ he looked over at me and said, ‘Steve, I will haunt you for the rest of your career.'”

Bosa was named Defensive Player of the Year in 2022 and has been a dominant pass rusher since entering the NFL.
