Garett Bolles

The Denver Broncos needed to get the offensive line restructured after an abysmal 2016 season. No matter who was under center, they just could not protect the quarterback. And the running game went down the drain after C.J. Anderson was done for the year.

Enter Garett Bolles, who has looked like a stud at the left tackle position. He has made some spectacular plays. And he has been awesome at run and pass protection. According to Pro Football Focus analytics, Garett Bolles ranks at the best rookie at run blocking. Not to mention he has only given up one sack on 147 pass blocking snaps.

Those are some incredible stats from a rookie. I am very excited what he will bring to the table once the Broncos resume their 2017 season.

Grade: A
