ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — If Garett Bolles’ career turns out like Joe Thomas’, the Broncos’ investment in the first-round pick would be more than justified.
Perhaps that’s obvious. Thomas, the six-time first-team All-Pro, is headed to the Hall of Fame when his career wraps up.
Any set of accolades that even comes close would be a massive haul for the rookie left tackle -- and it’s far too high a bar to set for Bolles at this early stage of his career.
That doesn’t mean he isn’t thinking about what it takes to make it to that level.
