The team already had Garett Bolles and Quinn Meinerz entrenched as starters. Most notably, Bolles didn't allow a single sack this year, which should definitely give him a great chance at this award. Quinn Meinerz is now a two-time first-team All-Pro and a one-time Pro Bowler. Both Bolles and Meinerz have legitimate arguments to win the inagural Protector of the Year award. The Broncos offensive line is truly in great hands.
