Nik Bonitto had a standout season in 2024, cementing his role as a key player for the Denver Broncos’ defense. With 13.5 sacks, 48 tackles, and impressive stats across the board, including his first Pro Bowl selection, Bonitto showcased his talent and leadership. However, head coach Sean Payton indicated a cautious approach for 2025, noting the need to monitor Bonitto’s snap count to maintain his health throughout the season. The Broncos are focused on developing their young linebacker corps, potentially leading to a more balanced distribution of playing time.
