The Denver Broncos' offensive line continues to garner praise from across the NFL landscape, and earn recognition as a whole.
In Pro Football Focus' offensive line rankings for the 2026 NFL season, the Broncos came in as the top-ranked unit in the NFL. Denver also ended the 2025 season as the No. 1 line.
"The Broncos return the same five starters from an offensive line that ended 2025 as PFF’s top-ranked unit, and there is no reason for change at the top," Gordon McGuinness wrote for PFF. "Left tackle Garett Bolles earned a 91.0 PFF pass-blocking grade last year, the highest among all offensive tackles, and didn’t allow a single sack across 802 pass-blocking snaps in the regular season. On the other side of the line, right guard Quinn Meinerz was the highest-graded guard in football, with his 91.0 PFF run-blocking grade trailing only Atlanta's Chris Lindstrom among guards."
The Broncos' offensive line only allowed 23 sacks in 2025, tied for the fewest in the league, per Pro-Football-Referece.com.
Both Bolles and Meinerz were nominated for the NFL's newest annual award, Protector of the Year, in 2025, and they were the only two teammates to be finalists. The Broncos also have great depth at offensive line, with 2026 draft pick Kage Casey and divisional round playoff hero Frank Crum, along with Alex Palczewski shoring up the back end of the line.
If the Broncos' offensive line can stay healthy, and quarterback Bo Nix can stay on his feet in the pocket, this team could be unstoppable in 2026.
