Outside linebacker Nik Bonitto and cornerback Pat Surtain II of the Denver Broncos have been named to the 2025 Sporting News All-Pro team, according to an announcement made Thursday. The two players’ selections place the Broncos in a tie for the most representatives on this year’s All-Pro list among NFL teams.
Bonitto, who has now appeared in consecutive Pro Bowls, is receiving Sporting News All-Pro honors for the first time. During the season, he achieved a personal best with 14 sacks and 28 quarterback hits. He also forced two fumbles and recorded 14 tackles for loss. In addition, Bonitto contributed a sack and forced two fumbles during Denver’s Divisional Round victory over the Buffalo Bills. His performance this year also earned him recognition from the Pro Football Writers of America (PFWA).
Surtain has now been named a Sporting News All-Pro three times, having previously received this honor in 2022 and 2024. For his efforts during the 2025 season, he was also selected for the Pro Bowl, AP All-Pro team, and PFWA All-AFC team. Surtain defended double-digit passes for the fifth straight year and had the third-highest tight-window throw rate in the league based on NextGen Stats.
The Sporting News All-Pro team is chosen by votes from NFL head coaches and coordinators.
