Nick Bosa believes new San Francisco 49ers teammate is comparable to Aaron Donald

Nick Bosa has compared Javon Hargrave to Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald and believes the defensive tackle will help the San Francisco 49ers defence dominate in 2023.

Hargrave was key for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, tallying 11.0 sacks on the formidable defensive unit that helped lead the NFC East franchise to Super Bowl LVII. He also ranked 19th in the NFL for total pressures with only Chris Jones (Kansas City Chiefs), Dexter Lawrence (New York Giants) and Cameron Heyward (Pittsburgh Steelers) finishing ahead of Hargrave among interior defensive linemen.

The 30-year-old decided to leave the Eagles in free agency in favour of a move to the 49ers, who have been on the precipice of a title run for years. Hargrave inked a four-year deal worth $84million (£66m) to head to the Bay Area, where he will link up with 2022 Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa.
