Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles will not be going home empty-handed after the NFL's Pro Bowl festivities.
Ahead of the NFL Honors on Thursday, Bolles was named the 2026 Alan Page Community Award winner by the NFL Players Association. Bolles is the fourth player in franchise history to win the award, and the first since Hall of Fame safety John Lynch in 2007, according to the team's official website.
Bolles was named as the first NFLPA Community MVP of the 2025 season for his work with the Bjorem + Bolles Childhood Apraxia Training Center in Parker, Colorado. The center was inspired by his son, Kingston, who is afflicted with Childhood Apraxia of Speech.
This is not the only endeavor Bolles is affiliated with. Bolles has also worked with Colorado youth in the juvenile detention system, a work which earned him a nomination for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2023.
Bolles gave some comments after being announced as the winner of the award about his work with the youth detention system. "I've continued my community work through the juvenile justice system in the Marvin Foote Center, where we are remodeling all the pods and living quarters for all the kids," Bolles said in his acceptance speech, via the Denver Post's Luca Evans. "How amazing that's been to be able to come together with all these kids from different backgrounds when they're incarcerated... I want to encourage them. Give them a why."
As part of the award, the NFLPA will donate $100,000 to his GB3 Foundation "to continue to make a difference."
Bolles continues to lead the way in the Denver community, both on and off the field. This may not be the only award Bolles goes home with this weekend, as he was nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award and the NFL's inaugural "Protector of the Year" award.
The 2026 Pro Bowl Games will be held at San Francisco’s Moscone Center South Building on Tuesday, Feb. 3. The "Games" will begin at 4:30 p.m. MT and the flag football game will start at 6:00 p.m. MT.
NFL Honors will be televised on Thursday night.
