The NFL announced the top-ten finishers at each position in fan voting for the 2025 Pro Bowl on Tuesday and more than a dozen Denver Broncos players made the list.
Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain (first in the NFL), outside linebacker Nik Bonitto (first in the NFL), guard Quinn Meinerz (first in the AFC), returner Marvin Mims (first in the AFC) and defensive lineman Zach Allen (second in the AFC) all seem poised to make the All-Star game after finishing high in the fan vote.
Perhaps most notable, though, is the fact that rookie quarterback Bo Nix finished seventh overall and fourth in the AFC. The three QBs above Nix in the conference are Joe Burrow, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. Nix was up next, above Patrick Mahomes.
Here’s the Top 10 by position in the final balloting for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games.

This does not necessarily mean Nix will finish above Mahomes in the final vote because fans only account for one-third of the vote (players and coaches make up the other two-thirds). But it is a reflection of Nix’s rise this season, and he has a legitimate shot to earn an alternate nod.
Nix has completed 65.1% of his passes this year for 3,454 yards with 25 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. He has also rushed for 383 yards and added four scores on the ground and one score as a receiver.
Mahomes has completed 67.5% of his passes for 3,928 yards with 26 touchdowns against 11 interceptions while adding 307 rushing yards and two scores on the ground. Overall, Nix has scored two more total touchdowns (30) than Mahomes (28) in 2024.
The Pro Bowl rosters will be announced on Jan. 2. The 2025 Pro Bowl Games will be held at Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Feb. 2.
