The second round of fan voting for the 2026 Pro Bowl is in, and several Denver Broncos are making serious noise in the race for a spot in the NFL’s annual all-star showcase.
Let’s start with rookie punter Jeremy Crawshaw, who’s leading all punters in fan votes for the second straight week. That’s no small feat for a first-year player at a specialist position that often flies under the radar.
Crawshaw’s consistency and hang time have clearly caught the attention of fans across the league-and rightly so. He’s been flipping field position all season, and that kind of impact doesn’t go unnoticed when games are tight.
On the defensive side, three Broncos are holding strong in the top two at their respective positions. Zach Allen, who’s been a disruptive force on the interior defensive line all year, currently sits second among all interior defensive linemen.
He was in the top spot last week, so there’s still time for him to regain that lead before voting closes. Allen’s ability to collapse the pocket and stuff the run has been a cornerstone of Denver’s defensive front.
Safety Talanoa Hufanga has made a big leap, jumping from sixth to second among strong safeties. Known for his instinctive play and physical presence in the secondary, Hufanga has been a tone-setter for Denver’s defense. His rise in the voting reflects both his on-field production and his growing profile among fans.
Outside linebacker Nik Bonitto remains steady at second among edge rushers. Bonitto’s burst off the line and ability to disrupt quarterbacks has made him one of the more exciting young pass rushers in the league this season. If he keeps producing, it’s hard to imagine him not making the final Pro Bowl roster.
Fullback Adam Prentice is currently third in voting at his position, but he’s leading all AFC fullbacks. In a league that doesn’t always spotlight fullbacks, Prentice’s work as a lead blocker and occasional short-yardage option has clearly resonated with fans who appreciate the grit and grind of old-school football.
A few other Broncos are also in the mix among the top ten at their positions:
- Quinn Meinerz is seventh among offensive guards, down slightly from fifth last week. Meinerz has been a key piece of Denver’s interior line, bringing power and mobility to the run game.
- Devon Key is holding at seventh among special teamers, a nod to his hustle and versatility on coverage units.
- Jonathon Cooper is eighth among outside linebackers, providing solid depth and pressure off the edge.
- Mitchell Fraboni, the team’s long snapper, is ninth at his position. Long snappers rarely get much love, so even cracking the top ten is a testament to his reliability.
- Marvin Mims, who’s shown flashes as a return man, is tenth among kick returners.
One of the more surprising developments? Cornerback Pat Surtain, widely regarded as one of the top shutdown corners in the league, is currently outside the top ten at his position.
Same goes for left tackle Garett Bolles, who’s been a steady presence on the blind side. Both players have the résumé and reputation to earn Pro Bowl nods, and they could surge once players and coaches submit their votes.
Speaking of which, the Pro Bowl selection process is split evenly between fans, players, and coaches-each group gets one-third of the vote. Fan voting remains open through Monday, Dec. 15, while the player and coach ballots will be cast on Friday, Dec. 19.
This year’s Pro Bowl Games will take place at San Francisco’s Moscone Center South Building on Tuesday, Feb. 3, with the festivities kicking off at 4:30 p.m. MT.
The main event-a flag football game-will begin at 6:00 p.m. MT.
With a strong showing from both established stars and emerging talents, the Broncos are well-positioned to send a solid contingent to the Bay Area. The next few weeks will be crucial as final votes are cast. For Denver fans, now’s the time to make your voice heard.
