Von Miller

Was there any surprise? Especially with how he performed in the Super Bowl this past season.

During the offseason, Miller got his big time payday. He is the richest defensive player in the NFL. Now it is time to go out there and prove it.

The edge rusher out of Texas A&M has been a rising star since his was drafted second overall to the Denver Broncos back in 2011. Minus one season that started off with a suspension and ended with a season-ending ACL injury, he has done pretty well for himself.

During the Super Bowl, every time Von Miller got to Cam Newton, he showed him how much of a nightmare he can be to opposing quarterbacks.

The battle between the first and second overall picks from the 2011 NFL Draft will battle once again. So far, Von Miller owns a 2-0 lead. Let us hope that he can make that 3-0.
