The Denver Broncos are emerging as a potential dark horse contender in the <a href="https://www.buzzineintl.com/category/football/nfl/afc/”>AFC for the 2025 <a href="https://www.buzzineintl.com/category/football/nfl/”>NFL season, largely due to their impressive defensive lineup. Central to this optimism is Pat Surtain II, the team’s fourth-year cornerback and reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, who believes the Broncos’ defense has the talent to be remembered among the greatest in NFL history.
Pat Surtain II Highlights Defensive Talent and Work Ethic
Speaking with Kay Adams, Surtain expressed strong confidence in his team’s defensive capabilities. He described the talent on the Broncos defense as “unreal” and emphasized the importance of commitment and effort, saying that true greatness comes from consistent hard work and teamwork.
“I think we have the ability to be mentioned in history amongst the greats. But you can’t talk about it, you’ve gotta be about it. And that’s all about putting in the work every day, everybody flying around to the ball making plays. But with our personnel … when you have that much talent on the defensive side, the sky’s the limit,”
Surtain stated.

Offensive Support and Team Outlook for 2025
Alongside a strong defense, the Broncos’ offense is expected to provide solid support with second-year quarterback Bo Nix and a variety of offensive weapons. This balance strengthens Denver’s standing in the highly competitive AFC West division and increases their chances of becoming a formidable force during the season.
What This Means for Broncos Fans and the 2025 NFL Season
With Pat Surtain II leading one of the most talented defensive units in recent memory, the Broncos are positioned to make a significant impact in 2025. If the team maintains its focus and consistency, it could establish a defense that ranks among the NFL’s best, giving Denver a strong chance to contend deep into the playoffs and revitalizing excitement for Broncos fans.
