In his junior year, he recorded 37 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 7 sacks and 12 quarterback hurries. As a senior, he was named the District 8 - 5A Defensive MVP after making 76 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and 6 sacks. He played with future Aggie teammate Cyrus Gray. In track & field, Miller competed in events such as the 110m hurdles ( PR of 14.38 s ), triple jump ( PR of 12.65 m ), and javelin throw ( PR of 37.24 m ). Considered a four - star recruit by Rivals.com, Miller was listed as the No. 15 weakside defensive end in the nation in 2007. He chose Texas A&M over offers from Florida, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and Texas Tech. College career Miller attended Texas A&M University, where he played for the Texas A&M Aggies football team from 2007 to 2010. As a freshman at defensive end in 2007, he was named Freshman All - Big 12 by The Sporting News after posting 22 tackles, including 10 solo stops. He recorded two sacks, four tackles for loss, and a forced fumble. He played in a 4 - 2 - 5 defense. He weighed 220 pounds during his freshman year. In Spring 2008, newly hired head coach Mike Sherman was discouraged by Miller 's habits of skipping class and failing to produce during practice. Sherman decided to suspend Miller for that spring. Disappointed, Miller considered transferring, but upon his father 's insistence, stayed. Miller then adopted a more serious attitude. As a sophomore in 2008, Miller played at weakside linebacker under Joe Kines 's 4 -- 3 defense. He saw action in all 12 games, making 44 tackles, including 25 solo stops, and leading the team with 3.5 sacks. He made 7.5 tackles for loss, forced a pair of fumbles, and recovered two more. His role was more confined to pass coverage, as opposed to rushing the quarterback, thus he was n't able to showcase his pass - rushing abilities. In the final seven Big 12 games, he compiled just eight tackles. As a junior in 2009, Miller adopted the role of the jack position, a defensive end / linebacker hybrid, which allowed him to utilize his pass rushing abilities. He enjoyed a breakout season for the Aggies, leading the nation in sacks with 17 and ranking fourth in the nation with 21 tackles for loss. For his efforts, Von Miller was named first team All Big - 12 at defensive end and was named a first - team All - American by Sporting News and Sports Illustrated. He became the first Aggie to be named a first team All - American since Jason Webster in 1999. Then - Aggies defensive coordinator Joe Kines compared Miller to the late Derrick Thomas. Miller then studied and watched film of Thomas to familiarize himself with his game. As a senior in 2010, Miller switched to playing as a 3 -- 4 outside linebacker under Tim DeRuyter 's defense. Early in the season, Miller suffered a high ankle sprain that held him back for the first six games. He posted 10.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss. Again he made first - team All - Big 12 honors and won the Butkus Award as the nation 's top linebacker. He was also named a consensus first - team All - American. He received first team All - American honors from Walter Camp, Scout.com, Pro Football Weekly, ESPN.com and the Associated Press. Miller graduated with a degree in poultry science and raises chickens in his spare time. Professional career Miller was projected to be a second round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft had he passed on his senior season. He entered the 2011 NFL Draft regarded as one of the best 3 -- 4 outside linebackers available by NFL draft experts and scouts and was projected to be a top five draft pick. At the 2011 Senior Bowl, Miller was the Defensive MVP. Among linebackers at the 2011 NFL Combine, Miller ranked 2nd in the 40 - yard dash, 3rd in the vertical jump, 1st in the broad jump, 3rd in the 20 - yard shuttle, T - 1st in the 3 - cone drill, and 1st in the 60 - yard shuttle. His 11.15 - second 60 - yard shuttle broke the combine linebacker record. At the Texas A&M Pro Day in March 2011, Miller ran a 4.49 40 - yard dash.

He was persuaded by former NFL running back LaDainian Tomlinson to join the lawsuit. During the Texas A&M Pro Day, however, one scout compared him to Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas, while Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer compared him to Cardinals linebacker Joey Porter. NFL Network Analyst Mike Mayock, who rated Miller as the second - best player in the draft, stated that Miller reminds him of a smaller version of DeMarcus Ware. Miller 's then - personal trainer, Dan Brandenburg, who also worked with first round picks Clay Matthews III and Sean Weatherspoon, stated Miller is the best athlete of all three. Denver Broncos Miller in 2011 Miller signing autographs for U.S. troops at Transit Center at Manas, Kyrgyzstan, in March 2013 Miller was drafted by the Denver Broncos second overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. He was the highest selected linebacker since LaVar Arrington went No. 2 to the Washington Redskins in 2000. He also became the Aggies ' highest draft pick since Quentin Coryatt, who was selected second overall in 1992. The selection of Miller surprised certain experts. Denver was switching from a 3 -- 4 defense to a 4 -- 3, a defense which seemed counter-intuitive to Miller 's strengths. Former Broncos quarterback John Elway, who is also the executive vice president of the franchise, said Miller is `` a type of guy that comes around every 10 years ''. On July 28, 2011, Miller officially signed with the Denver Broncos. He wears No. 58 in honor of his favorite football player, the late former Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas. 2011 season On September 12, 2011, in his first career play from scrimmage, Miller forced a fumble against the Oakland Raiders. On September 18, 2011, he had his first sack on Andy Dalton when the Broncos played the Cincinnati Bengals. Miller was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against the New York Jets. Miller was selected to the 2012 Pro Bowl and was named AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. Overall, in 907 snaps, he recorded 11.5 sacks, 19 quarterback hits and 29 quarterback hurries. He was fined three times during season. 2012 season Miller got off to a quick start in his second season, registering 10 sacks in 9 games. In this period, he also recorded 30 quarterback hurries, more than he had during his entire 2011 campaign. Thanks to this tremendous start, he was considered an MVP candidate. On November 16, he was fined $21,000 for a hit on Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in Week 10. He received his second career AFC Defensive Player of the Week honor after recording three sacks and two forced fumbles against the San Diego Chargers the following week. For his efforts during the month of November, he was awarded AFC Defensive Player of the Month. On December 26, 2012, he was announced the starting Outside Linebacker in the AFC division for the 2013 Pro Bowl. Miller finished the season third in sacks with eighteen and a half, breaking a Denver Broncos record of seventeen previously held by Elvis Dumervil. He also capped off the 2012 season finishing second in voting for Defensive Player of the Year and being named first - team All - Pro. In 2012, Miller teamed up with Ubisoft, makers of the video game The Hip Hop Dance Experience, to create his very own sack celebration dance called `` The DeSoto Shuffle '' that was inspired by the video game. Each time he performed the dance during a game, Ubisoft made a charitable donation to Von 's Vision, a foundation devoted to providing eye care and glasses to underprivileged youth. Miller ( third from right ) was one of several NFL players who visited US Army soldiers in Afghanistan during the 2013 offseason. 2013 season Prior to the 2013 season, NFL Network listed Miller as the 9th - ranked player in its NFL : The Top 100 Players of 2013 program, which is voted on by players in the NFL. In July, 2013, ESPN reported that Miller had been suspended four games for violating league policy, pending appeal. He tweeted that he did `` nothing wrong ''. In August 2013, he lost the appeal and was suspended for six games. The six - game suspension arose after the NFL learned that he attempted to cheat a drug test. He became eligible to play on October 20, 2013, when the Broncos played the Indianapolis Colts. On November 24, in a loss to the New England Patriots, he recovered a Stevan Ridley fumble and took it 60 yards for a touchdown. It was the second touchdown of his career. He did fairly well upon his return, but his season was ended prematurely when he tore his ACL on December 22, 2013 during a win on the road at the Houston Texans. Without him the Broncos reached Super Bowl XLVIII, but lost 43 -- 8 to the Seattle Seahawks. 2014 season After recovering from his ACL injury, Miller looked to improve his play in his fourth season with the Broncos. He did so with 14 sacks, 59 tackles, and a forced fumble. 2015 season Miller in Super Bowl 50 On September 17, 2015, Miller became the third - fastest player in NFL history to reach 50 sacks career ( 58 games ). The only ones to get there faster than him were Reggie White ( 40 games ) and Derrick Thomas ( 54 ). During the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots, Miller sacked Tom Brady 2.5 times, breaking a Broncos single - game playoff record and also had an interception in the second quarter of the game. In Super Bowl 50, facing the heavily favored Carolina Panthers who held the top - ranked offense, the Broncos won 24 -- 10. In the first quarter, on a 3rd - and - 10 from the 15 - yard line, Miller knocked the ball out of Panthers quarterback Cam Newton 's hands while sacking him, and defensive end Malik Jackson recovered it in the end zone for a Broncos touchdown, giving the team a 10 -- 0 lead. This was the first fumble return touchdown in a Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXVIII. With 4 : 51 left in regulation and the Broncos leading 16 -- 10, Miller forced a second fumble from Newton to end the Panthers ' potential game - winning drive, and the Broncos offense afterwards scored a touchdown to seal the victory. Miller recorded six tackles, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and two quarterback hurries, and was named Super Bowl MVP for his performance. Miller was named to his fourth Pro Bowl, earned his second First - team All - Pro, and was ranked 15th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016. 2016 season On March 1, 2016, the Broncos placed the exclusive franchise tag on Miller. On July 15, Miller signed a 6 - year deal worth $114.5 million featuring $70 million guaranteed with the Broncos. He became the highest paid defensive player in NFL history, with the highest amount of guaranteed salary. Miller finished the 2016 regular season with 13.5 sacks and 24 quarterback hits. In the last four games of the season, Miller did not record a sack, which was the longest such stretch in his career. He was named to his fifth career and third consecutive Pro Bowl, and his third First - team All - Pro, and was ranked second by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2017 as the highest ranked defensive player. 2017 season Miller against the Redskins in 2017 On December 19, 2017, Miller was named to his sixth Pro Bowl.
