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.  We are pleased to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Denver Broncos.

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

1.  Duration and Impact.

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

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the Broncos had an outstanding regular season, finishing 14-3, and beating Buffalo in the first round, only to fall to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.  Two players rose, and one new entrant entered the conversation based on the 2025 season.

As always, we present our top five, with no changes occurring.

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

You can find the complete list here:

Cornerback and former MVP Patrick Surtain II rocketed an even dime from #30 to #41.

Offensive Lineman Garrett Bolles makes his debut on the list.  He is ranked at #42.

Wide Receiver Courtland Sutton moved up two spots to #45.

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