The Lead
As the Broncos approach their regular-season finale, several of the team's players were honored for their play this season.
In a recent ESPN story, Bill Barnwell chose five Broncos for a pair of All-Pro teams, including tackle Garett Bolles and defensive lineman Zach Allen for first-team nods.
The Broncos' five selections were the most of any team in the NFL.
"I'm not sure there's a more underrated offensive lineman in the league," Barnwell wrote of Bolles. "… According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Bolles has allowed just one sack all season. Just 6.2% of his one-on-one blocks have resulted in pressures, the second-lowest rate in the NFL."
Barnwell offered similarly high praise of Allen, who leads the NFL in quarterback hits.
"Allen's just completely unblockable at times on the interior, which helps funnel quarterbacks to those speedy edge rushers," Barnwell wrote.
In addition to Bolles' and Allen's selection to Barnwell's first-team All-Pro group, cornerback Pat Surtain II, outside linebacker Nik Bonitto and safety Talanoa Hufanga also made the list.
