Overview
- Garett Bolles was revealed at No. 42 on the NFL Top 100, his first appearance on the player-voted list since 2021 and a direct nod to his 2025 first‑team All‑Pro and Pro Bowl honors.
- T. J. Watt landed at No. 41, extending his streak to eight consecutive Top 100 appearances despite a 2025 season with fewer sacks and lower counting stats than his peak.
- Denver now has four players on the list — Bolles, quarterback Bo Nix (No. 59), wide receiver Courtland Sutton (No. 68) and defensive lineman Zach Allen (No. 73) — highlighting roster depth tied to improved line play.
- Advanced metrics and awards underlie the rankings: Pro Football Focus credited Bolles with allowing zero sacks and naming him its Best Pass Blocker, while ESPN data showed top‑eight team pass‑ and run‑block win rates for Denver in 2025.
- The Top 100 rollout is ongoing and these placements reinforce how peer voting blends reputation, recent honors and analytic performance into season‑ahead expectations for individual players and the Broncos.
