The Denver Broncos are on the brink of something special—a potential playoff berth after nearly a decade-long drought. You’d expect that kind of success to be reflected in Pro Bowl nods, and rightly so. This year, three Broncos have been spotlighted as starters in the 2025 Pro Bowl, accompanied by a crowd of alternates ready to step in if needed.
Leading the charge, we’ve got cornerback Pat Surtain II, edge rusher Nik Bonitto, and wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr., all earning their stripes as Pro Bowl starters. Meanwhile, Denver’s got a strong bench of alternates, too: defensive lineman Zach Allen, offensive tackle Garett Bolles, fullback Michael Burton, long snapper Mitchell Fraboni, safety Brandon Jones, kicker Wil Lutz, offensive guard Quinn Meinerz, and quarterback Bo Nix, the promising rookie making waves this season.
Mark your calendars, folks. The Pro Bowl action unfolds in the sunny fields of Orlando, Florida, on February 2, 2025.
Let’s dive a little deeper into the Broncos making headlines:
Pat Surtain II
What is there left to say about Pat Surtain II? The young cornerback is arguably at the pinnacle of his game, rolling into his third Pro Bowl selection out of just four seasons. That elite club includes Broncos legends in the Ring of Fame or Hall of Fame like Von Miller. With stats showing 42 tackles, four interceptions adding up to 132 return yards, and a touchdown, Surtain truly dominates. Opponents are wary—throwing in his domain means a mere 59% completion rate and a tough 55.6 quarterback rating.
Nik Bonitto
Nik Bonitto, remember the name. After finding his footing, Bonitto has become a force, racking up 11.5 sacks and making 22 QB hits that have quarterbacks losing sleep. Oh, and let’s not forget his impressive 71-yard pick six and a sizzling 50-yard fumble return for touchdowns. Game-changing plays are becoming his trademark, as demonstrated by his pick-six against the Browns and a crucial fumble return that dismantled the Colts’ playoff hopes.
Marvin Mims Jr.
Special teams shine bright in Marvin Mims Jr. Not just locking down his Pro Bowl return specialist role for another year, Mims is blazing trails in the receiving game too. With two 100-yard games and three touchdowns lighting up the latter part of the season, including a jaw-dropping 93-yard touchdown, Mims shows he’s more than a one-trick pony. His return stats? A league-leading 408 punt return yards and an average of 15.7 yards per return.
On the AFC roster, there’s a cavalcade of talent featuring quarterback maestros like Josh Allen and Joe Burrow, running back powerhouses such as Derrick Henry, and wide receiver stars like Ja’Marr Chase. The trenches are stacked with the likes of Myles Garrett on defense, while the offense boasts standouts like Quenton Nelson and Travis Kelce.
In this sea of talent, the Broncos are well-represented, but as is always the case, discussions ignite on the biggest Pro Bowl snub. Debate it out; who should’ve made it for Denver but didn’t? Jump into the comments and let’s hear your take.
