There are a handful of Broncos players who could remain or become the best at their respective positions in the 2025 NFL Season.
The Broncos have a ton of good players and quite a few great ones as well. This roster is as good as it's been in quite some time, so both George Paton and Sean Payton deserve a ton of credit for what they've been able to do over the last few offseasons.
In fact, a handful of Broncos players could emerge as the best at their respective positions in the 2025 NFL Season.
5 Broncos players who could become the best at their positions in 2025
Patrick Surtain II, CB
The best defensive player in the NFL in 2024, Patrick Surtain is only set to play in his age-25 season. Surtain won the DPOY award, and it was just a flat-out pleasure to watch him dominate in 2024. In an offseason where Vance Joseph is still the DC and the personnel got better, the entire unit could take a step forward in 2025.
Patrick Surtain II is really in a great position to have another elite season and continue his residency atop the NFL cornerback world.
Dre Greenlaw, ILB
Dre Greenlaw played in just two games in the 2024 NFL Season, but he was given an 82 PFF grade for his short work, and to be fair to the veteran, he's been among the best linebackers in the NFL when healthy. Given that the Broncos have been one of the healthiest teams in the NFL, there is reason to believe that not only can Greenlaw stay on the field, but he also could play the best football of his career given how stout Denver is up front.
Zach Allen, DE
Zach Allen should have earned Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors in the 2024 NFL Season, but he didn't. Anyway, Allen led the NFL with 40 QB hits and absolutely established himself as a top defensive end in the NFL. He wasn't really a household name before this year, so another campaign close to what he had in 2024 could really thrust Allen to the top of the totem pole.
Brandon Jones, SAF
Brandon Jones' PFF grade was 5th among all safeties in the NFL in 2024, and that PFF grade was quite accurate. Jones allowed a passer rating under 80 when in coverage and just had himself an elite season. He did this playing next to PJ Locke III, who was replaced by Talanoa Hufanga in free agency. With Hufanga and Jones surely a top safety duo in the NFL, both players could bring out the best in each other.
Jones himself is actually a bit underrated, but 2025 could change that.
Quinn Meinerz, OG
Earning first-team All-Pro honors in the 2024 NFL Season, Quinn Meinerz is the best guard in the NFL depending on who you ask, and with the Broncos OL likely remaining the same for 2025, Meinerz could be set up to have yet another insane season.
Another year as one of, if not the best guard in the NFL could really make the conversation one-sided in favor of 'The Belly.' Denver have themselves an elite guard and an elite offensive line. Meinerz is only set to play in his age-27 season, so he's also surely entering his prime.
