Watt is coming off a down season in 2025, at least by his standards. He finished with 19 quarterback hits, 10 tackles for loss and seven sacks.

The 31-year-old still made the Pro Bowl for the eighth consecutive year, though it was just the second time since 2019 he didn't make the All-Pro team nor appear on any Defensive Player of the Year ballots.

The seven sacks for Watt were his fewest in a season with at least 14 games played since his rookie year in 2017. Despite his decreased production, he still tied for the Steelers lead in quarterback hits.

Watt's ranking this year is his first time being outside the top 30 since 2019 when he made his first appearance on the top 100. He is the second Steelers player on the list this year, joining Jalen Ramsey at No. 82.

Bolles has been an iron-man for the Broncos since the start of the 2023 season. He has played in all 54 games between the regular season and playoffs, including playing every snap in 44 of those contests.

One reason Bo Nix and the Broncos has been so successful over the past two seasons is owed to the offensive line, anchored by Bolles at left tackle.

Per ESPN's metrics from the 2025 season, the Broncos ranked in the top eight in both pass-block and run-block win rates.

Bolles ranked ninth among all offensive tackles with a 94 percent pass-block win rate on 418 total plays. The 34-year-old was named to the All-Pro first team for his performance last season.

It was the first time a Broncos offensive tackle was a first-team All-Pro selection since Ryan Clady in 2012.
