The Denver Broncos have reached the halfway mark of the season with a promising 5-4 record, despite lacking star power on their roster. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix is still finding his rhythm, but the defense has emerged as a significant strength, largely thanks to cornerback Patrick Surtain II.
Surtain, who recently signed a four-year, $96 million extension, is recognized as one of the top players in his position. His performance has drawn accolades, including a spot on Fox Sports’ All-22 Coaches Tape Team. The Broncos' defensive strategy, which relies on Surtain's ability to excel in man coverage, has been pivotal to their success.
While Surtain stands out, defensive lineman Zach Allen is also having a remarkable season and deserves more recognition. If he maintains his level of play, he could join Surtain in the All-Pro conversation.
