Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Denver Broncos.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Broncos again struggled and could not make the playoffs.  There is only one new entry into our Top 50.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. John Elway
2. Von Miller
3. Shannon Sharpe
4. Champ Bailey
5. Randy Gradishar

You can find the entire list here.

The new entry is current free agent Safety Justin Simmons comes in at #40.  He was a four-time Second Team All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowl Selection with Denver.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football Hockey and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next ten of the 2024 Hockey List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 51 to 60:

51. Andre Lacroix
52. Markus Naslund
53. Pat Verbeek
54. Gary Suter
55. Rick Tocchet
56. Garry Unger
57. Alex Kovalev
58. Jason Spezza
59. Vincent Damphousse
60. Ron Hextall

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

Last year, the Lions made it to the NFC Championship Final and have finally built a contender after decades of mediocrity.  That being said, this is one of the oldest teams in the NFL, and with their stars being so young, none of them broke into the Top 50.  Nevertheless, we always acknowledge that we took the previous season into account.

As always, we present our top five, which (obviously) saw no changes:

1. Barry Sanders
2. Joe Schmidt
3. Bobby Layne
4. Dutch Clark
5. Lem Barney

The National Football League has seen a few Linebackers who became instant stars, and in 2021, Micah Parsons was added to that elite list.

Parsons was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in 2019, and the Cowboys were fortunate he was still available when they selected the Penn State product 12^th overall in the 2021 draft and captured the player who became the most versatile Linebacker in football. 

Parsons adapted immediately to the highest level of football, showing that regardless of scheme, he could deliver.  As an exemplary pass rusher (he already has 40.5 Sacks), Parsons’s speed and explosiveness allow him to shift effortlessly in the interior.  Parsons has been named to the Pro Bowl in all three of his NFL campaigns, and the 2021 Defensive Rookie of the Year has finished second, second, and third, respectively, for the Defensive Player of the Year.

He enters this star-studded list despite playing only four years.  That is how good Parsons has been.
