Good morning, Broncos Country!

We’re in the dog days of summer for the NFL.

That period of time between minicamp and training camp. With that comes lists.

Over the last week, ESPN has been releasing the top 10 by position according to NFL executives, coaches, and scouts. And various Denver Broncos have cracked the respective lists.

Pat Surtain II

At least for the Broncos, it started with the top 10 cornerbacks on Tuesday. And to no one’s surprise, Pat Surtain II was No. 1. It’s the second year in a row that Surtain earned the No. 1 spot...

After watching the Denver Broncos beat the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round win, then quickly learning of his injury, it’s normal to wonder what Bo Nix has been doing this offseason.

Unfortunately for Nix and the Broncos, his offseason started one or maybe even three weeks early.

It’s been almost six months to the day since Nix broke his ankle in the win. He’s been up to a lot, and the news is encouraging for the 2026 Broncos.

What Bo Nix has been doing this offseason

Following the devastating news of his injury, Nix had surgery on his...

It appears a healthy number of us believe as Tim Lynch and I did — Bo Nix is going to be lights out in the end zone this season.

With 25 touchdown passes last season and 29 as a rookie, Broncos Country believes a record-breaking year is on tap for No. 10.

In fact, here are a few favorite comments on the poll post:

“44 TDs would be ideal for a couple of reasons. One, it will save his healing ankle by staying in the pocket and not running so much. Two, OC Webb Knows in a division that has...

Cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian joined the Denver Broncos back in 2022 as an undrafted free agent and quickly made an impression on the coaching staff. While he didn’t make the Broncos’ 53-man roster, he did get signed to their practice squad, where he would stay until the regular season finale, when he was signed to the active roster and even got the start.

In 2023, in Sean Payton’s first year with the Broncos, McMillian made the team, but was a depth player who had not earned a shot to start just yet. However, after the Broncos’ infamous 70-point loss to the...

There have been some pretty dang good linebackers for the Denver Broncos over the last 20 years. You could say guys like DJ Williams or Danny Trevathan or Wesley Woodyard or even Alex Singleton. There is, of course, Brandon Marshall.

Surely, you wouldn’t include Alexander Johnson on that short list, right? Well, don’t tell that to Pro Football Focus. They ranked Alexander Johnson has the single best linebacker the Broncos have had over the last two decades. As laughable as that is, they don’t even explain their reasoning in the Broncos’ best players from each position during that span.

In...

Denver Broncos defensive end Zach Allen is a beast.

“Sack” Allen, if you will.

While Patrick Surtain and Nik Bonitto are the ones gaining all the notoriety, the guy in the middle of the line is essential to the unit’s success as well.

Denver Broncos Zach Allen is one of the best interior defensive linemen today

Allen is awesome.

After coming here from Arizona, he’s been sensational the last three years as an interior defensive lineman.

In 2023, he recorded 5.0 sacks and 24 QB hits. They were basically career numbers for him, but since he’s just gotten better....

We are wrapping up the defense today with the top five safeties in Denver Broncos history. The list is long when it comes to great safety play, so there should be plenty of discussion on this one.

My favorite defensive player of all-time is none other than Steve Atwater. Any time I would pick up street ball in the neighborhood, I would pretend to be Atwater. He was a monster on the field all throughout the 1990s. I picked the best safety from each decade from the 60s to the 90s before going with a Super Bowl 50 champ from...

The Denver Broncos roster doesn’t have many significant question marks. It’s a solid group with quality starters at most positions on both sides of the ball. However, there are a few players on the outside looking in with respect to making the final 53-man roster.

One of those players is fourth-year linebacker Drew Sanders. A third-round pick in 2023, Sanders has struggled to stay healthy in his career with the Broncos. As a rookie, he played in all 17 games with 4 starts notching 23 tackles. Unfortunately, a torn Achilles limited him to just four games in 2024 and he...

Good morning, Broncos Country!

Zach Allen is one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL.

He’s a leader for one of the best defenses in the league. We already know that Allen was No. 73 on the NFL’s Top 100 list.

But the Denver Broncos defensive tackle told The Denver Post on Thursday that the defense will set an NFL record this season. Allen said he expects the Broncos to break the NFL record for sacks in a season.

As Allen said to the Post:

“In this league, you’ve kind of always got to keep on finding...

It’s that time of year again where players are ranked by their peers in the NFL’s Top 100 from last season. The first Denver Broncos player to make this list is none other than defensive lineman Zach Allen.

Allen has been on the ascent since signing with Denver in free agency in 2023. He has thrived under Vance Joseph’s defensive scheme with two All-Pro selections. He has accumulated 20.5 sacks in three years and 8 passes defensed (batted passes at the line). He has also amassed 111 quarterback hits in three seasons after just 43 in four seasons with the...

One more day away and we’ll close out the remaining defensive position. I look forward to sharing my safety list. At cornerback, there are so many great options and its always nice to put a current active Bronco on an all-time top five list. Let’s get these cornerbacks ranked!

Crazily enough, we all agree on who should be in the top five but do not agree at all how the ranking shakes out below Champ Bailey. I went with CHJ, but Pat Surtain is closing like a freight train and will likely challenge Champ for the top spot if he...

The Denver Broncos touted one of the NFL’s best defenses the past two seasons. In back-to-back years, they topped the charts with respect to sacks. Not only that, but they have also greatly improved their run defense. There is no doubt the defensive trenches have played an integral role in Denver’s turnaround the past few seasons.

In order to compete for a championship in 2026, the Broncos’ defensive line will have to perform at high level once again. With John Franklin-Myers departing to the Tennessee Titans via free agency, Denver will need several of their reserve players from years past...
