Now that the Denver Broncos have their 53-man roster and practice squad pretty much set for the 2024 NFL season, fans can familiarize themselves with the players we’ll be watching on Sundays this fall. An important part of that familiarization is pronunciation.
Courtesy of the team, here is a name pronunciation guide for Broncos players you might not know how to pronounce from just reading their names:
- RB Tyler Badie: BAY-dee
- LB Levelle Bailey: la-VELL
- OT Garett Bolles: BOWLS
- OLB Nik Bonitto: bo-KNEE-toe
- TE Greg Dulcich: dul-SICH
- RB Audric Estime: AWE-drick ess-TE-may
- OL Alex Forsyth: FORE-seith
- LS Mitchell Fraboni: fruh-BONE-ee
- OL Nick Gargiulo: gar-JEWL-lo
- CB Damarri Mathis: DUH-mar-EE
- RB Jaleel McLaughlin: muh-GLOFF-lin
- CB Ja’Quan McMillian: JAY-quan mac-MILL-in
- OL Quinn Meinerz: minors
- OL Alex Palczewski: pal-CHESS-key
- OL Matt Peart: payrt
- DB Keidron Smith: key-DRON
- QB Jarrett Stidham: STID-um
- LB Justin Strnad: stir-NAHD
- CB Pat Surtain: sur-TAN
- OLB Dondrea Tillman: DON-dre
- DL Eyioma Uwazurike: en-YO-muh oo-WAZ-zur-EE-kay
- WR Devaughn Vele: deh-VAWN VEH-lay
- RB Javonte Williams: JUH-von-TAY
- TE Thomas Yassmin: YAZ-min
After Ja’Quan McMillian’s name was botched by commentators during preseason, hopefully this guide can help fans and pundits avoid similar mistakes during the regular season.
