A timeline of Von Miller’s career in Denver.
April 28, 2011: Broncos draft Miller No. 2
The first selection of the John Elway/John Fox Era was Miller, drafted to improve the NFL’s worst pass rush (23 sacks in 2010).
“The reason we decided to go with Von Miller was his explosiveness, both in coverage and as a pass rusher,” Fox said. “He’s a rare talent, there’s no doubt. He seems to have that uncommon ability to be great.”
In a Denver Post poll, 65.2% of the 1,493 votes gave the Broncos an “A” for the pick.
