So far two Denver Broncos have already been announced on NFL Networks top 100 players of 2014 which has been voted on by the players. Louis Vasquez made the list as the 97th best player, and newly signed T.J Ward cracked the list as the 82nd best player in the NFL in 2014.
Which three current Denver Broncos are joining the list tonight?

In 2013 Talib totaled 41 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 4 interceptions and 14 pass deflections. Talib will look to replace for Denver Bronco Champ Bailey as the Broncos number one corner on the team.
76. Linebacker Von Miller
Despite a six-game suspension, and a season ending ACL injury Von Miller came in as number 76 on the list

In a suspension and injury shortened season Von Miller totaled 34 tackles, 3 forced fumbles and 5 sacks. Miller looks to come back strong in 2014, and help lead the Denver Broncos defense to the Lombardi Trophy.
73. Wide Receiver Wes Welker
Wes Welker sure made an impact on the Denver Broncos offense in his first season with the team. That earned him the 73rd overall ranking in NFL Networks top 100 players of 2014.

In 2013, Broncos receiver Wes Welker caught 73 passes for 778 yards, and 10 touchdowns. Welker looks to repeat those numbers in 2014 in Denver's vaunted offense.
So that's five Denver Broncos on the list, and there's going to be more. Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, Peyton Manning and Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton are locks to make the list.
Go Broncos!
