3 Best Broncos to Never Make a Pro Bowl

There are many ways to measure a player's greatness. One could look at stats, All-Pro selections or simply use the eye test. One of the most media-driven measure's of a player's greatness is being selected to Pro Bowl.

However, there are only a certain amount of Pro Bowl spots, and players who move the needle are more likely to make the team. This means there are worthy players left off the list every year. These are the best Denver Broncos players of all time to never make a Pro Bowl.

3. Rubin Carter, DT (1975-86)

Rubin Carter played the least glamorous position in football, lining up at nose tackle for the Broncos. In fact, he was one of the first to play the position. He anchored the defense that made it to three Super Bowls, and at the time he retired, he played more games at nose than any other player in history (152). The most notable part of his career was him receiving death threats during Super Bowl XII for being so good. There were people at the game following him that wanted him dead, since he finished the game with 6 tackles, 2 sacks and a fumble recovery, which are especailly impressive numbers for a nose tackle.

2. Steve Foley, FS (1976-86)

Steve Foley is one of the best safeties in Denver's history, playing his full career with the team and sitting as the Broncos' all-time interceptions leader (44). His best season came in 1984, when he intercepted 6 passes, recovered 2 fumbles and scored 2 touchdowns.

1. Simon Fletcher, LB/DE (1985-95)

Simon Fletcher played all 11 of his NFL seasons with the Broncos. During this run, he totaled 97.5 sacks, which is the second-most in franchise history, behind only Von Miller. He also totaled 808 tackles and 20 forced fumbles. His best season came in 1992, when he posted 5 forced fumbles, 16.0 sacks and 99 tackles.
