Broncos All-Pro’s

Love seeing the belly on the 1st team

Funny PFF and ESPN told us we had a bottom-2 roster in football.

Allen could arguably have been 1st team but he’s not a big enough name yet.

Funny PFF and ESPN told us we had a bottom-2 roster in football.

Yes, they did. And I didn’t disagree.

OL played much better than expected.
DL and rush - who would have projected that we would run away as top team in sacks?
Riley Moss was an eye-opener.
And, of course, Bo way outplayed even the most optimistic projections.

Oh I would agree. Even the most optimistic Bronco fan could never have predicted we would have this many All-Pro players and that most of our questions on the roster would turn out to be positive answers.

PFT is giving out their awards, Surtain was named their Defensive Palyernof the Year:

The defensive player of the year often is a guy who gets a lot of sacks or a lot of interceptions. Broncos Patrick Surtain II did neither. He was still the finest defensive player in the NFL for the 2024 season.

And so Surtain is the PFT 2024 NFL defensive player of the year.

He had four interceptions for the season, including a 100-yard pick six. He had 11 passes defensed, made 45 tackles, forced a fumble, and recovered one.

His best work came against the best opposition he faced. As recently noted by the team’s official website, Surtain was targeted 16 times on 92 routes and allowed six catches for 56 yards, no touchdowns, and an 8.3 passer rating when covering five Pro Bowlers: Ravens receiver Zay Flowers, Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy, Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and Raiders tight end Brock Bowers. He also had two interceptions while locking down that quintet of high-end pass-catchers.

The son of former Pro Bowl (and one-time first-team All-Pro) cornerback Patrick Surtain, the son is doing justice to his given name, and then some

Love that PS2 is a Bronco. He's our next Champ Bailey.
