## Resource

Zach Allen is dominating the national spotlight after landing at No. 8 on ESPN’s top 10 defensive tackles for the season — a feat that even rivals Myles Garrett. Since 2022, Allen has racked up more quarterback hits than Garrett and boasts elite pressure rates for an interior lineman. His four-year, $102 million extension signals the Broncos’ confidence in him as the cornerstone of their rising defense, which has propelled them into the playoffs for two straight seasons after years of drought. Beyond stats, Allen’s laser focus is on history — he’s convinced the Broncos will break the 1984 Bears’ sack record this year, crediting teammates like Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper, plus a coaching staff that maximizes their potential. With over 60 QB hits annually and relentless game-changing energy, Allen isn’t just a star — he’s a leader elevating the entire unit. The Broncos are building something special, and Allen is leading the charge. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
