1. Von Miller-Denver Broncos

If the Broncos let him out of town then they’ve lost their minds. Miller is one of the best players in the NFL regardless of position. He’s a brilliant edge rusher whose ability to play the run is sorely underrated. He might be the best defensive player in the league and I can’t see him getting out of the Mile High City.

Miller is one of the rare defenders that offenses have to game plan around. They need to know where he lines up at all times and must plan accordingly. If you lose track of him even for a down he can destroy you with a sack, tackle for loss or turnover. There aren’t many more dangerous defenders in the NFL.

There used to be concerns on how Miller could hold up against the run, but he’s emphatically answered those concerns now. He’s a three-down linebacker without question no matter what the defensive scheme happens to be. He’s just a flat-out superstar.

Opposing fans can dream of signing Von Miller all they like, but I’ill be shocked if he’s in anything other than a Broncos uniform in 2016.
