Broncos Tie For Most Players on NFL Top 100!!!

What a time to be a Denver Broncos fan! With the final episode of NFL Top 100 still to come out and the final 10 names to be released, the Broncos are rolling deep!

By the law of averages, with 32 NFL teams, each team should have at least three players in the NFL Top 100. So when six players from the Denver Broncos are already on the list, doubling the presumed average, it is time to take a moment and applaud!

For the Broncos to field 6% of the overall list is a monumental achievement, and truly speaks to the team's current dominance.

Naturally, it is no surprise that Pat Surtain II cracked the top ten. PS2 is widely regarded among his peers in the NFL and, by many, considered to be the top cornerback league-wide. An absolute monster in coverage and well-known for bringing down interceptions anytime the ball is thrown his direction, his place at 10th overall on the list makes perfect sense.

Next man up on the list is the pass rushing phenom Nik Bonitto. After several years of pass-rushing dominance, Bonitto racked up 14 sacks in the 2025 campaign, putting him among the top pass-rushing weapons in the NFL. He also recorded multiple tackles/tackles for loss and even had the game-saving pass breakup against the Washington Commanders. Coming in on the NFL Top 100 at 32 overall is more than deserved.

The third Bronco to make the list comes in ten more spots back. Garett Bolles is remembered by some in Broncos Country largely as the penalty magnet that plagued the franchise during his first two seasons in Denver in 2017-2018. Since then, however, the University of Utah product has evolved into one of the most consistent and dominant offensive tackles in the league. Allowing zero sacks in 1126 snaps in 2025, achieving a number-one rating as a pass blocker, and allowing less than 2% pressure from his side of the field made Bolles a shoo-in for the Top 100.

Given how down the national media seems to be somewhat blind to both film and stat lines when it comes to Bo Nix, it is nice to see that the players in the NFL know the truth about what they see. Out of 16 quarterbacks named to the Top 100 list so far, the Broncos Starting Quarterback comes in at 59th on the list and 11th among the quarterbacks.

Bo Nix has been a breath of fresh air for Broncos Country, ending the monotonous slog of subpar quarterback play that Denver has experienced since Peyton Manning's retirement. Although often overlooked by the national media as a true QB threat, Nix has put up stellar numbers in his first two seasons in Denver, and would likely have led Denver to its first Super Bowl appearance in 10 years had he not broken his ankle in the divisional round against the Buffalo Bills in the '25-'26 season. Seeing Nix make the list is a step in the right direction for Broncos fans.

After a long career of reliability for the Broncos, Courtland Sutton finally makes his first appearance on the NFL top 100 list the first time in his career. Coming in at number 68, Sutton is obviously respected by and viewed by his NFL peers as a serious threat. Sutton has been with the Broncos since 2018, and by many, has never truly been considered a receiving weapon. It is his reliability and his consistency, however, that have endeared him to his NFL peers and likely the major reason he has finally made the list.

Zach Allen rounds out the list of Denver Broncos who have made the top 100, coming in at number 73. In just a few seasons in orange & blue, Allen has established himself as one of the premier interior defensive linemen in the NFL, especially in the pass rush. He led the NFL in quarterback hits in 2025 with 47, which, combined with his 40 QB hits in the 2024 season, makes him only the second player in NFL history to record more than 40 QB hits in back-to-back seasons. Quite the feat.

In the grand scheme of Broncos players on the top-100 list, five of the six earned either Pro Bowl or All-Pro accolades, or both, in the 2025-26 season. The only Broncos player on the list who received neither was QB Bo Nix. PS2 was named to the Pro Bowl for the 4th consecutive season and was named second-team All-Pro. Courtland Sutton achieved 1017 receiving yards in 2025 and was named to the Pro Bowl. Both Garett Bolles and Zach Allen were named to the Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro for their contributions in 2025. Nik Bonitto was named to the Pro Bowl for his pass rush dominance.

Of note, despite being Pro Football Focus's number one-ranked guard in 2025, being named to the Pro Bowl, and having back-to-back seasons as a First-Team All-Pro, Quinn Meinerz has yet to make the NFL top 100 list. We in Broncos Country know what Quinn Meinerz is capable of, and this snub seems egregious. Given more time, however, it is likely Quinn Meinerz will finally get his recognition on the list from his NFL peers.

Despite the exclusion of an obviously deserving player, the Denver Broncos' six selections to the NFL top 100 ties the Philadelphia Eagles, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Seattle Seahawks as the four teams with the most players on the list. With only 10 names left to make the list, where will the Broncos end up in the overall top 100 ranks? No matter where they end up, it is very safe to say that Denver is truly an elite roster.
