A former Broncos tackle landed on , highlighting the top players who only excelled for one season since 2006.
Chris Clark, who was a member of the Broncos from 2010-14, earned his spot for his performance in 2013. Clark took over the starting left tackle job in Week 3, replacing All-Pro Ryan Clady, who suffered a season-ending Lisfranc injury. He helped the Broncos make a 13-3 regular season run to eventually earn an appearance at Super Bowl XLVIII.
“(Clark) didn’t get his chance to start until 2013 with the Broncos — a year that turned out to be the best of his career thus far,” PFF’s Ben Linsey writes. “Clark drew his first start at left tackle in Week 3 and held the job all the way through Denver’s Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks. His 82.1 PFF grade ranked 15th among 74 qualifying tackles on the year, and it came from a well-balanced effort with both run- and pass-blocking grades north of 75.0. Clark has since started in stints with the Broncos, Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers, but he has not recorded a PFF grade of 70.0 since 2013.”
Another former Denver star also landed on the list. Running Peyton Hillis earned his spot after a strong showing with the Browns in 2010, which helped him become the cover athlete for Madden NFL 12.
