Bold headline: A handful of Broncos crack top-10 in Pro Bowl fan voting, signaling strong support for a winning season.
The 2026 Pro Bowl fan voting is underway, and ten Denver Broncos players sit in the top 10 at their respective positions, including one leader. Given the Broncos’ success this season, it’s not surprising to see so many athletes drawing votes.
This reflects a key benefit of competing on a successful team: personal recognition often follows team achievement. Below, we break down all 10 Broncos in the top 10, noting that the fan voting portion ended on Monday and Tom Pelissero shared the official ballots on X.
Jeremy Crawshaw | Punter | 1st
Surprise result: Crawshaw is the only Broncos player currently leading in votes at his position. The rookie punter has delivered a standout season, ranking near the top in nearly every punting metric.
Nik Bonitto & Jonathon Cooper | OLB | 2nd & 8th
Denver’s edge rush duo sits at second (Bonitto) and eighth (Cooper) among outside linebackers in the Pro Bowl voting. Both have enjoyed strong seasons, though Cooper’s production has slowed recently. Bonitto’s impact remains evident on game tape even when sacks aren’t piling up in a given week.
Talanoa Hufanga | S | 2nd
Hufanga continues to stand out as one of the league’s best free-agent additions from the previous offseason, outside of quarterbacks. He’s a relentless playmaker who has disrupted numerous plays.
If not for a handful of dropped interceptions, Hufanga might be leading votes and be a frontrunner for All-Pro honors at safety.
Zach Allen | DL | 3rd
Denver’s pass rush has been a dominant force this season, with Allen playing a pivotal role. He does a lot of the dirty work inside to free up teammates for pressures and sacks, while also contributing himself throughout the year.

Adam Prentice | FB | 3rd
A rising star at fullback, if one is to exist in today’s NFL, Prentice stands third in voting, highlighted by the impactful performance against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14.
Quinn Meinerz | OG | 6th
Meinerz has been excellent most of the season, overcoming an early illness. While there were rough moments earlier, those have largely subsided, making his sixth-place standing among guards somewhat surprising in a positive way.
Devon Key | Special Teams | 6th
Key has excelled on special teams, even during a season that challenged the unit. He ranks among the leaders in special-teams tackles, which has helped him accumulate sixth-most votes.
Marvin Mims Jr. | Return Specialist | 7th
Some may be surprised by Mims’s seventh-place vote count, given the strong field of return specialists this season. He’s had a solid year, though missing a few games due to injury likely affected his overall voting momentum.
Mitchell Fraboni | LS | 8th
Long snappers play a quiet but essential role, and Denver’s Fraboni sits eighth in voting, underscoring the importance of special teams accuracy.
Potential Snubs
So far we’ve covered the Broncos in the top 10. Names missing from the top 10 at their positions include left tackle Garett Bolles, cornerback Patrick Surtain II, wide receiver Courtland Sutton, and quarterback Bo Nix.
Sutton and Nix are understandable given the fan-based voting dynamics and the weight of name recognition, but Bolles and Surtain are more surprising. Both have been among the NFL’s best at their positions and arguably deserved to be in the top 10 in voting.
What do you think about these results and snubs? Do you believe the fan voting accurately reflects on-field performance, or should position-specific metrics and professional votes carry more weight? Share your thoughts in the comments.
