Broncos' updated pronunciation guide for 2024 NFL season

Fox commentators caused a stir in Broncos Country last week when they pronounced running back Tyler Badie’s name as “buh-day” instead of “bay-dee.”

It turns out, Tim Brando and Matt Millen were correct in their pronunciation. After going by “bay-dee” at Missouri and through two seasons in the NFL, Badie informed the Broncos last week that he wanted it to be pronounced “buh-day.” Duly noted!

So, with Badie’s name corrected, here’s a look at an updated name pronunciation guide for Denver’s players this season:

• RB Tyler Badie: “buh-DAY“
• 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
