ENGLEWOOD, Colo.Nik Bonitto's breakout 2024 campaign has earned him yet another accolade. The fourth-year outside linebacker was voted No. 38 on the NFL's 2025 Top 100 list, becoming the highest-ranked Bronco revealed so far this year.

The selection to the Top 100 list is the first of Bonitto's career.

The former second-round pick out of Oklahoma led the Broncos with a career-high 13.5 sacks last season, and he earned a Pro Bowl appearance and second-team All-Pro nod. He added 16 tackles for loss, 24 quarterback hits, two forced fumbles, and scored twice returning both an interception and a fumble for touchdowns.

Bonitto has recorded 23 sacks in his career to go with 47 quarterback hits and 40 tackles for loss.

In his first preseason action of 2025, Bonitto recorded a sack and multiple quarterback hits on the second defensive drive in Saturday's opener against the 49ers.

Bonitto now joins defensive lineman Zach Allen (No. 90) and quarterback Bo Nix (No. 64) as Broncos featured on this year's Top 100 list. The countdown continues over the coming weeks, with the top 10 players scheduled to be unveiled on Sept. 1.
