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 maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 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 overachieved by going 10-7 and making the playoffs, only to lose to Buffalo in the opening round.  There were no fluctuations, but two new entrants to the Top 50.

As always, we present our top five, which remain unchanged.

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

You can find the entire list here.

Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain II makes his debut on the list at #41.

The second new entrant is Courtland Sutton, who enters at #47.

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

From SMU, Courtland Sutton was Denver’s Second Round Pick in 2018, and save for a torn ACL that took out the 2020 season, he has been one of the most consistent Wide Receivers in recent Broncos seasons.

Sutton attended the Pro Bowl in 2019, marking what has been his most productive yardage year to date, with 1,112 Yards.  Since then, Sutton has shown flashes of dominance, catching 10 Touchdown Passes in 2023 and recording his second four-digit yardage year in 2024. 

Entering 2025, Sutton has 5,340 Yards and 32 TDs, and has the potential to add a lot more.
