The Denver Broncos were recognized for their impressive all-around performance during the 2024 season, with standout players earning spots on the Next Gen Stats 2024 All-Pro Team. This acknowledgment highlights the game-changing impact these players made in various phases of the game.
On the offensive side, guard Quinn Meinerz earned recognition for his exceptional play. His role in fortifying the Broncos’ offensive line was critical, with Meinerz allowing only one or fewer pressures in 11 games—a feat that hasn’t been matched by any other guard since at least 2018. His pressure rate of just 3.6% was the lowest among all guards, allowing only a single sack throughout the season.
Defensively, cornerback Pat Surtain II and defensive lineman Zach Allen both earned spots for their stellar performances. Allen was a dominant force in both pass rush and run defense, ranking in the top 10 for total pressures with 67. His consistency on the field was also notable, playing the highest percentage of snaps among defensive tackles. Surtain, known for his shutdown coverage, allowed the fewest targets against him among cornerbacks, as quarterbacks avoided throwing his way. When challenged, Surtain allowed the lowest passer rating among corners with significant coverage snaps.
The final Broncos player on the list, punt returner Marvin Mims Jr., made an impact with his explosive return game. He led the NFL with a 15.7-yard average per return and ranked third in punt return success rate. His top speed of 16.0 mph was one of the fastest among returners, showcasing his electrifying playmaking ability.
Overall, the Broncos’ recognition on the Next Gen Stats All-Pro Team underscores the contributions of key players across all phases, solidifying their place among the league’s elite performers this season.
