OLB: Von Miller

A disastrous 4-12 season for the Denver Broncos in 2010 yielded a beautiful result. With the second overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Broncos selected linebacker Von Miller, and the rest was history.

Owning just about every sack record in franchise history, the Super Bowl 50 MVP has been an anchor to the Broncos’ defense, and was an integral part of the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 run, having the best postseason of his career, with 2.5 sacks in both the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl, one of those a tide-turning strip-sack on Cam Newton.

It would be a disservice in failing to mention that Von Miller dropped back into coverage and picked off Tom Brady in the postseason.

Miller makes a case for the greatest player in Broncos history, and not only has already secured a spot in the Broncos Ring of Fame but has already made a case for first-ballot Hall of Famer.
