NFL Network is currently counting down “The Top 100: Players of 2012,” and reports are a Broncos player will be revealed on today — Wednesday, May 16 — at 6 p.m. MST.

It’s a defensive player, is ranked between No. 70 and No. 61 and was not included on the list last year.

A glance at The Top 100: Players of 2011 shows that two Broncos were included, only one of which plays defense — cornerback Champ Bailey.

Could that mean it’s 2012 Pro Bowl defensive end Elvis Dumervil? What about Defensive Rookie of the Year Von Miller? If so, what do you think of the ranking?

If not, any other ideas for who it could be?

The player named on Wednesday will be the second Bronco included on the list so far, joining running back Willis McGahee at No. 98.
