Who on the Denver Broncos roster will emerge as significant contributors for the team in 2021?

We are so close until Broncos’ football returns, people!  The Broncos have put together a very solid offseason with a plethora of strong additions, some of whom will make league-wide noise.

Apparently inspired by Broncos’ own Lead Writer Aric DiLalla, this article will project some 2021 superlatives.

Garett Bolles, LT

It’s not hyperbole to suggest that Garett Bolles was the best left tackle in football last season.  As I have said before, he literally did not allow a single sack in 2020.  He also greatly diminished his committed penalties and pressures allowed.

He was so great in 2020 that he was named to his first All-Pro, and signed a $68 million extension with the team, which has proven to be a bargain among elite tackles.

I have no reason to believe that Bolles won’t keep this elite pace up next year. He’ll be more comfortable in the offense and will benefit from better quarterback play.  Obviously, Mike Munchak being the offensive line coach is a huge boost as Bolles can continue to polish his game under the tutelage of Munch.
