“Holding, offense, number 72, 10-yard penalty, repeat first down.”
“UGHHHHHHHH, %@&#!.” In Garett Bolles’ first two and a half years as the Denver Broncos starting left tackle, this two-word sentence perfectly encapsulated how most of Broncos Country felt about Bolles.
A 2017 first-round pick from Utah, Bolles was widely regarded as one of the top offensive line talents in the draft, with supreme athleticism. His biggest knock was how raw he was, but that did not stop the Broncos from pulling the trigger.
