\n The Lead<\/p>\n

As the Broncos approach their regular-season finale, several of the team’s players were honored for their play this season.<\/p>\n

In a recent ESPN story<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

The Broncos’ five selections were the most of any team in the NFL.<\/p>\n

“I’m not sure there’s a more underrated offensive lineman in the league,” Barnwell wrote of Bolles. “\u2026 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.”<\/p>\n

Barnwell offered similarly high praise of Allen, who leads the NFL in quarterback hits.<\/p>\n

“Allen’s just completely unblockable at times on the interior, which helps funnel quarterbacks to those speedy edge rushers,” Barnwell wrote.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Lead As the Broncos approach their regular-season finale, several of the team’s players were honored for their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":648704,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2062],"tags":[1010,232,231,258,2426,7,5109,6,1004],"class_list":{"0":"post-648703","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-denver-broncos","8":"tag-aric-dilalla","9":"tag-broncos","10":"tag-denver","11":"tag-denver-broncos","12":"tag-denverbroncos","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-mile-high-morning","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115826900858763415","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
