The Denver Broncos are in an amazing place as a team, having won 10 games in a row, and are in pole position for the No. 1 seed in the AFC after Week 14. Now, fans, players and coaches will decide the individual achievements of players by trying to vote them to the Pro Bowl.

Several Bronco players are near the top of their respective positions in Pro Bowl voting so far, but one man remains criminally underappreciated for how much he does on a game-by-game basis. Despite nearly a decade of service as the team’s longest tenured player, protecting the blindside of the likes of quarterbacks from Bo Nix to Case Keenum, left tackle Garett Bolles has yet to be honored with a Pro Bowl appearance. The highest individual honor Bolles has received was a second-team All-Pro nod in 2020.

Bolles’ wife, Natalie, is doing her part trying to change the narrative surrounding him. Natalie made a hilarious Pro Bowl graphic for Bolles, from when he nearly caught a touchdown pass against the New York Giants in Week 7. In the photo, Bolles lies sprawled, belly down on the ground in the end zone.

The NFL had not yet posted a formal graphic of trying to get Bolles to the Pro Bowl. However, they quickly responded with a tweet of their own:

The good-natured Broncos left tackle gave his own hilarious response to his wife’s tweet:

Bolles has done his part in protecting quarterback Bo Nix in 2025, with Pro Football Focus not crediting him with any sacks allowed through 14 games. He was also recognized for his work off the field, as he was nominated by the team for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award for the second time in his career.

“He’s a guy that’s been through a lot and matured a lot, and he’s got a good perspective on life,” said Broncos offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi. “He’s got a really good spirit to him. You can just tell he’s a good human being that wants to do things right and wants to treat people the right way, and affect people the right way, and does a lot of community. It’s great when one of your best players is contributing outside of football in that manner; it’s an inspiration to everybody. So both those things are very important. Protecting the quarterback and also contributing in the community like he does.”

Fans can do their part to send Bolles to his first Pro Bowl by retweeting Natalie’s post. Let’s be honest, it’s much better than the NFL’s offering!
