About Garett Bolles
Before his time in the NFL, Bolles was a standout player at Westlake High, Snow College, and the University of Utah.
In 2017, the Broncos selected Bolles with the No. 20 overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Before the 2020 season, the former Ute signed a four-year contract extension with the Broncos. Bolles’ deal was worth nearly $70 million. Following some early struggles with penalties to start his NFL career, Bolles has become a star offensive lineman for the Broncos.
Last season, Bolles helped the Broncos to an 8-9 record after a slow start to the 2023 campaign.
