A 1^st Round Pick (12^th Overall) in 2008, Ryan Clady would have an excellent rookie campaign where he was named a Second Team All-Pro and finished third in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting.  Clady, who was instituted as the starting Left Tackle as soon as he began his professional career, would be named to his first Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro and he would remain an upper echelon Offensive Lineman with three more Pro Bowls and one more First Team All-Pro nod.  A torn ACL would take him out of the 2015 season, but he would finish his career in 2016 with a final season with the New York Jets.

A first rounder from Boise State, Ryan Clady brought an instance presence to the Denver Broncos O-Line immediately.  A second runner-up for the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2008, the Left Tackle would go to his first of four Pro Bowls in 2009, not to mention being named a First Team All Pro.  He would again be named a First Team All Pro in 2012.  While Clady does have a Super Bowl ring with Broncos from their win at Super Bowl 50, he had a torn ACL that year and did not play, though his overall contributions to Denver were strong.
