5 Broncos who deserve to make the 2024 Pro Bowl

Fan voting for the 2024 NFL Pro Bowl has opened and several Denver Broncos players are worthy of national recognition.

The Pro Bowl Games will feature a flag football game again 2024 with Peyton Manning (AFC) and Eli Manning (NFC) returning as coaches. Last season, Elis’s NFC squad defeated Peyton’s AFC team at the Pro Bowl.

Last year, cornerback Pat Surtain was the team’s only representative at the All-Star game. Surtain is likely to make the Pro Bowl again this season, and he might be joined by several teammates.

In addition to Surtain, Denver’s secondary also features star safety Justin Simmons, who previously made the Pro Bowl in 2020.

On offense, guard Quinn Meinerz has been turning heads this season and wide receiver Courtland Sutton keeps scoring touchdowns. The Broncos also have a key special teams player worthy of a Pro Bowl nod.

Honorable mentions: Quarterback Russell Wilson, defensive lineman Zach Allen, cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian, outside linebacker Baron Browning, running back Javonte Williams and fullback Michael Burton.

Meinerz made some huge blocks on national television in Week 10, and that should help get him some recognition outside of Denver. Meinerz has quickly emerged as one of the NFL’s best guards and he is now seeking his first Pro Bowl berth.

Mims has not been involved much on offense in his rookie season, but he’s been an electrifying returner. Mims ranks second among players with more than five kickoff returns this season with an average of 33.6 yards per return. He also ranks first among all players with an average of 18.8 yards per punt return. Mims has been one of the best returners in the NFL this year.

Simmons has three interceptions in nine games this year and he now has 30 total interceptions since he entered the NFL in 2016, more than any other player in the league over the last eight seasons. Simmons was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2020 but he did not get to play in an All-Star game after it was cancelled due to COVID-19.

Surtain is not tested often, which is evidence of the respect NFL quarterbacks have for him. “PS2” is seeking his second Pro Bowl nod after previously making the AFC’s roster in 2022 and recording a pick-six in the All-Star game.
