Broncos outside linebacker and cornerbacks and were selected to the 2017 Pro Bowl, while six others — center , wide receivers and , safeties and and defensive end — were chosen as alternates.
Both Miller and Talib were voted in as starters, and Stewart was selected as a first alternate.
The Broncos’ Pro Bowl trio, all drafted or signed by general manager , has a combined 11 Pro Bowls selections since joining the team.
Miller, selected to his fifth Pro Bowl, joins former defensive backs Champ Bailey and Steve Atwater as the only players in Broncos history to make five Pro Bowls in their first six seasons. 50 MVP Miller ranks second in the league in sacks (13.5) and total pressures (73) this season. He is also tied with Rulon Jones (73.5) for fourth on the Broncos’ all-time sack list.
Harris (third career selection) and Talib (fourth) are only the cornerback duo in the NFL to make the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons. Harris is one of only five undrafted cornerbacks in history to make three or more Pro Bowls with his original team. Talib, who signed with Denver as a free agent in 2014, joins Arizona’s Patrick Peterson and Seattle’s as the only cornerbacks in the league to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of the last four seasons.
Last year four Broncos defenders — Miller, Harris, Talib and outside linebacker — were selected to the Pro Bowl, marking the first time in eight years that not a single offensive player was chosen from Denver.
Congrats to our three Pro Bowl picks – , & . Proud of them & it's a well-deserved honor!

Players, coaches and fans all vote on Pro Bowlers, with each group’s ballots counting one-third toward the selections. The game will be played Jan. 29 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando and will revert back to the AFC vs. NFC format after three years in an unconferenced structure.
This season, players are put in separate draft pools and selected by captains. Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis and Super Bowl XXXV MVP Ray Lewis will lead the AFC, and 14-time Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez and former all-pro defensive back Charles Woodson will lead the NFC.
