Episode Details

Garett Bolles just made ESPN’s top-10 list for the first time—ranking tenth at left tackle—and it’s a huge deal. Last season, he was a first-team All-Pro, allowing just five sacks in over 600 pass-blocking snaps, with a top-9 pass-block win rate. Some critics say his run-blocking needs work, but Broncos insiders and an NFL coordinator argue he’s one of the most consistent pass protectors in the league—and a key reason for Denver’s success. The real twist? The team and PFF believe Bolles didn’t allow a single sack, highlighting how sack metrics can be misleading when quarterbacks hold the ball too long. Head coach Sean Payton even credited Bolles’ peak performance to quarterback Bo Nix’s Brees-like quick release, making this ranking not just a stat, but a testament to his impact on the field.
