ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — “I’m Von Miller, and I play defense.”
A simple, obvious, far-from-groundbreaking sentence, it’s a sentence that Von Miller recites to his teammates at the beginning of every season when prompted to state his name and his position.
When it comes to the football field, Miller likes to keep things simple. But as he’s putting together a season that is most certainly heading towards Defensive Player of the Year honors, that simplicity is starting to look like pure genius.
His approach is so simple, in fact, it really boils down to one thing.
