I’m not gonna talk too much about it, but I think it’s an important time,” Bosa said after the game. He wouldn’t elaborate further.
He shared a screenshot of the moment on his Instagram account along with a collage of several other photos from the night.
But Bosa’s support for Trump sparked a major social media freakout.
It was one of a few instances of active NFL players outright supporting a presidential candidate this election season.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker also endorsed Trump earlier this year, while Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Thomas Booker IV has stumped for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Bosa has been a longtime supporter of Trump, going back to before he was in the NFL.
He revealed in 2019 that he cleansed his X account of Trump posts and Colin Kaepernick criticism over fears he may not be fully embraced by the city of San Francisco should he get drafted by the 49ers.
The post on Leslie’s X account included the message: “What did Trevon Diggs do on this play?”.
This was in reference to a 43-yard reception by George Kittle in the third quarter of the game, where Diggs did not cover the 49ers tight end. The play ended in a touchdown for San Francisco and was the moment when they extended their lead.
“About where you get your arguments to ask me that question, you don’t know football. You can’t go out there (referring to the field) and do anything, mind your business, man. Stop playing with me, brother,” Diggs said.
