Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller is ranked No. 11 on Pro Football Focus’ 2019 list of Top 50 NFL players. That’s a nice jump from last year when he was ranked No. 22 on PFF’s list.
Here’s a portion of what PFF had to say about Miller’s ranking:
Miller has now earned a 90.0-plus overall grade every year of his eight-year NFL career, all while playing at least 540 defensive snaps each season. Also, his single-season pass-rush grades have never dipped below 85.6 (2014), and his lowest single-season run-defense grade in his career is 79.6 (2011).
Miller, 30, totaled 48 tackles, 14.5 sacks and one interception last year. He also broke up three passes and forced four fumbles.
Miller and cornerback Chris Harris (No. 23) are the only Broncos players on the list, just like last year. The two Pro Bowlers are Denver’s two best defenders and arguably the two best players on the roster overall.
Chicago Bears outside linebacker Khalil Mack (No. 8) is the only edge defender ranked higher than Miller on the list. Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald is PFF’s No. 1-ranked player.
