Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles honored with big-time award

Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles was a monster on the field this season.

And yet his greatest work might have come off it.

Bolles was named the Alan Page Community Award winner on Tuesday in San Francisco ahead of the Super Bowl. In recognition of the union’s highest player honor, the NFLPA is donating $100,000 to the GB3 Foundation.

Making a difference on the field and off. 👏

Bolles is also up for the NFL’s inaugural Protector of the Year Award, which will be given out later this week.

Bolles earned Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors from the Associated Press for the first time in his career this season. According to Pro Football Focus, he was 1-of-2 tackles with at least 1,000 snaps this season to not allow a sack.

The former first-round pick is the longest tenured Bronco who endured many tough losing seasons before helping Denver reach the AFC Title Game this year. It was a frustrating 10-7 loss to the New England Patriots with backup Jarrett Stidham playing QB, but Bolles vowed on social media the Broncos will be back.

And not only is he an incredible player, but he’s also a great representative in the community, putting in real work that will help change the lives of troubled youth in the Mile High City.

Winning the Super Bowl one day for Bolles would be awesome, but this is the kind of recognition that will last a lifetime and create an even stronger legacy.
