Patrick Surtain II’s list of accolades continues to grow. He was voted the NFL’s top defensive player for the 2024 season by both the Associated Press and the Pro Football Writers of America. Last year marked his third selection to the Pro Bowl, alongside first-team All-Pro recognition from multiple organizations.

While individual recognition is gratifying, Surtain has emphasized that his true ambition is helping Denver secure another championship. During a summer camp he hosted for young athletes in Colorado, he described how personal milestones fit into a bigger vision.

"There's always something out there to do better," Surtain said in June 30, according to Denver7. "Why not get another one? Why not get more All-Pro [selections], but I think the main goal is to win a Super Bowl at the end of the day. That's why I play the game, to win. That's the end goal for me."

Patrick Surtain II’s football journey began at Alabama, where he anchored the Crimson Tide’s unbeaten run to a national title in 2020 and was recognized as the SEC’s Defensive Player of the Year. Denver selected him with the No. 9 pick in the 2021 draft.
