Von Miller, OLB

Von Miller is the best player on the Broncos’ roster. Last year, he put together a season of 10 sacks and 51 tackles while being double-teamed, chipped, or sometimes even both on nearly every play.

In many ways, that stat line is below average for Von, who has had seasons with 13.5, 14, and 18.5 sacks in the past.

With the development of Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett along with the addition of Bradley Chubb, Miller is in as good of a situation as he has ever been in during his entire career.

If Chubb can live up to his hype, the Broncos have put together the type of pass rush that nobody in the NFL wants to play against.

Opposing teams will not be able to afford to throw as many bodies at Miller as they were able to last season, because they will have to worry about the edge rusher on both sides of the ball.

In the prime of his career, Miller could be in line for a monster season in 2018.
