The accolades keep coming for Von Miller.
The Broncos’ veteran outside linebacker was voted by his fellow NFL players as in the league last season, joining DeMarcus Ware () and Emmanuel Sanders () on the top 100 list.
Miller, , returned from a torn anterior cruciate ligament to have one of his finest NFL seasons and make up half of the Broncos’ lethal pass-rushing duos, with Ware.
In 16 games, Miller recorded 42 combined tackles (42 solo) and 14.0 sacks, the sixth-most in the NFL. He was graded by Pro Football Focus as the second-best outside linebacker in a 4-3 defense overall (54.0) and against the run (22.0), trailing only Oakland’s Khalil Mack in both categories. He was rated far and away the best (33.6) in pass-rushing and tallied the most quarterback hurries (47) and hits (11).
Miller also earned his third Pro Bowl nod in 2014 and was named second-team all-pro.
In 2015, Miller expects to wreak even more havoc in Wade Phillips’ 3-4 defense. But one thing will stay constant.
“We’re going to let him rush,” said Phillips, with a smile.
