Broncos React to Nik Bonitto's NFL Top 100 Ranking
Denver Broncos linebacker Nik Bonitto secured the No. 32 spot on the 2026 NFL Top 100 rankings, as voted on by active players.
Denver Broncos linebacker Nik Bonitto has been ranked No. 32 on the 2026 NFL Top 100 list, compiled by the league's active players. The defensive player, who was named a Pro-Bowl selection for the second year in a row in 2025, led the team with 14 sacks, 28 QB hits, and two forced fumbles. Bonitto was instrumental in the Broncos' elite defense, which ranked second in total defense and amassed a near-historic 68 sacks.
This marks the fifth time a Bronco has made the 2026 NFL Top 100, joining Zach Allen, Courtland Sutton, Bo Nix, and Garett Bolles. The team celebrated Bonitto's ranking on social media. Injured on the left leg during training camp, Bonitto missed Wednesday's session but returned for the team's walkthrough on Thursday. The Broncos are scheduled to host the Atlanta Falcons in their preseason opener on August 14, and their regular-season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs is set for September 14.
