I guess this is how legendary greatness is made. You take something that's obviously special and then you focus-train intensely with terrier-like tenacity. How many superbly gifted athletes leave college for the pros and then fail miserably because, for most of their lives, their gifts have made them so superior that they never really needed to break a sweat. And they get into the severely concentrated gene pool of a place like the NFL and suddenly, everyone else is blessed with some of the same gifts? 

When Elway picked Miller, I suspected that he was destined for something truly great. With tenacity, devotion and a work ethic like that, perhaps even the Hall of Fame won't be enough to contain him.
