9 Broncos Secure Top 10 Pro Bowl Spots; 3 Unexpectedly Snubbed
In the lead-up to the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, Denver Broncos fans face a critical deadline. Fan voting ends on December 15, giving supporters a limited time to rally behind their favorite players. Notable Broncos players like Patrick Surtain II, Bo Nix, and Garett Bolles currently lack representation in the Pro Bowl’s top 10 rankings for their positions, despite having impressive credentials.
Top 10 Pro Bowl Rankings for Broncos Players
Despite the absence of Surtain, Nix, and Bolles in the top 10, several other Broncos players have risen on the rankings:
- Nik Bonitto – OLB – Rank: 2nd
- Jonathon Cooper – OLB – Rank: 8th
- Quinn Meinerz – OG – Rank: 5th
- Jeremy Crawshaw – P – Rank: 1st
- Devon Key – ST – Rank: 8th

Player Analysis
Patrick Surtain II’s Status
Despite being the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Surtain’s recent pectoral injury has hampered his visibility in Pro Bowl voting. Although he missed three games, his return helped the Broncos secure a victory over the Washington Commanders. His performance in this match included multiple crucial pass break-ups, showcasing his prowess as a top cornerback.
Garett Bolles’ Performance
Left tackle Garett Bolles, considered one of the best in the league, also finds himself outside the Pro Bowl rankings. With a ranking as Pro Football Focus’ No. 2 offensive tackle, Bolles has allowed the fewest quarterback pressures among offensive tackles with substantial playing time. He aims for his first Pro Bowl selection after receiving a second-team All-Pro nod in 2020.
Bo Nix’s Season Highlights
Quarterback Bo Nix has been pivotal for the Broncos, finishing as a Pro Bowl alternate last year. In his second season, he boasts 2,742 passing yards, ranking him 11th in the NFL. Nix has thrown 19 touchdowns, tying him for the sixth-most. However, concerns about his completion percentage and passer rating have raised questions about his Pro Bowl candidacy.
Voting Participation
Fan votes constitute one-third of the Pro Bowl selection process, while votes from players and coaches make up the remainder. With significant pressure on fans to support their players, every vote counts.
The Broncos have achieved a remarkable feat this season with nine consecutive wins, matching their total victories from the previous year with several games still to play. As the Pro Bowl voting deadline approaches, fans are encouraged to advocate for their players to ensure they receive the recognition they deserve.
