Bleacher Report ranks Denver Broncos eighth in league roster talent

Summary

Bleacher Report lists the Denver Broncos as the eighth-most talented team entering the 2026 season. The ranking places Denver behind the Seattle Seahawks but ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers. This evaluation follows a 2025 campaign where the Broncos reached the AFC Championship game and fell four points short of a Super Bowl appearance. The roster retains most of the core personnel from the previous season with limited additions through free agency and the draft. Denver features six players on the NFL's Top 100 list, including All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain. The team begins its 2026 schedule with a Monday Night Football game against the Kansas City Chiefs on September 14.
