WATCH: Broncos CB Pat Surtain delivers DPOY speech
Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain became only the sixth cornerback in NFL history to win Defensive Player of the Year during the 2024 NFL Honors ceremony ahead of the Super Bowl last week. Surtain also became the second Bronco player after Hall of Famer Randy Gradishar to win the prestigious award. After recieving the award, Surtain gave a short speech, mentioning his family, his faith and football. 'First and foremost, I want to give all the praise to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,' Surtain began. 'I mean, without Him, I wouldn't be in this position first off. Secondly, I'd like to thank my family: Mom, Pops, you know for setting the blueprint turning a young man into a grown man; I want to thank y'all. 'I'd also like to thank the Broncos organization for believing in me, for trusting in me, for allowing me to grow and being the player that I am today. And lastly, I'd like to thank my teammates for helping me reach my full potential and being the best person I could be. Thank y'all and have a blessed one.' With Surtain as one of the captains of the 2024 season, Denver ended a near-decade playoff drought. The team will now regroup and aim to contend for another Super Bowl in 2025.
