The Denver Broncos' Pro Bowl selections reveal some surprises, with two deserving players overlooked despite strong performances. Coach Sean Payton addresses the situation, offering words of encouragement to right guard Quinn Meinerz, drawing on his experience with similar scenarios.
The Denver Broncos announced their Pro Bowl starters, including cornerback Patrick Surtain II, outside linebacker Nik Bonitto, and returner Marvin Mims Jr. However, two notable Broncos players, right guard Quinn Meinerz and defensive tackle Zach Allen, were overlooked despite their strong seasons.
Head Coach Sean Payton, drawing on his extensive NFL experience, consoled Meinerz, explaining that talented offensive linemen often experience a period of being overlooked early in their careers before eventually gaining recognition. Payton cited the example of Jahri Evans, a future Hall of Fame finalist, who didn't make the Pro Bowl in his second year but went on to be selected for six consecutive seasons. Meinerz, in his fourth year, hopes to follow a similar trajectory.
