VON MILLER

Why he’ll break it: Miller appears poised to have a career year now that he is a full season removed from his December 2013 ACL injury and is free of off-field baggage after being removed from the NFL’s drug program this summer. In his first year as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense, expect Miller to be allowed to be more aggressive and rush from both sides of the defense.

Quotable: “They try to put me in a pass rush category, but I try to have A-pluses on everything I do, whether it's pass coverage, off-the-field stuff, working with rookies, everything I do. Not just pass rush. And I think that's what makes me different,” Miller on how he thinks he stands out from his 2011 classmates.
