STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

No. 8 ranked; second ACL injury limited him to 3 games in 2025.

Bola dropped to No. 8 in ESPN's rankings after a torn ACL—his second career ACL injury—cost him all but three games in 2025. Several voters acknowledged he would still be in their top five if healthy. Before the injury, he posted a 21.6% pass rush win rate with two sacks in limited action. Scouts praise his best-in-NFL speed-to-power move that gets offensive tackles on their heels. He is the first 49er with multiple 15-sack seasons since 1982 and the third in franchise history to surpass 60 career sacks (64.5) after Bryant Young (89.5) and Charles Haley (66.5).
