ESPN includes five Denver Broncos players on its top 100 list

Five Denver Broncos players earned spots on the ESPN list of the top 100 NFL players entering the 2026 season. Cornerback Pat Surtain II led the group at No. 7, followed by offensive lineman Garett Bolles at No. 37 and offensive lineman Quinn Meinerz at No. 53. Pass-rusher Nik Bonitto and defensive lineman Zach Allen were also recognized, landing at No. 56 and No. 79 respectively. The selections arrive as the organization looks to follow a deep playoff run from last season with a renewed push toward a Super Bowl appearance. While Meinerz was excluded from the separate NFL Top 100 peer-reviewed list earlier this year, his inclusion by ESPN reflects his role as a key contributor on the team's offensive front.
