Von Miller, age 29

Von Miller is at the pinnacle of his profession.

A top 10 player in the NFL by any legitimate grading system, Miller is a force to be reckoned with off the edge.

There is no player in the NFL who has the kind of burst off the edge that Miller has. When the ball is snapped, Miller is seemingly already halfway to the quarterback.

Not only is Miller the best edge rusher in football, he’s also arguably the best run defender in the game.

This is the most complete player in the league from a skill standpoint, with speed, strength, instincts, coverage ability, and the ability to finish plays and affect games.

There’s a reason the Broncos are paying Miller like a franchise quarterback. Though he doesn’t touch the ball every single play, he’s capable of dominating a game and causing opposing teams to completely change their plan of attack.
