No. 5 – Von Miller
Enforced Penalties: 6
Resulting Yards: 56
Snaps: 437
Penalties Per 100 Snaps: 1.37
Von Miller, who topped last week’s list of defensive playmakers, would have been tops on this inauspicious list if it were based on raw totals, not considering snap count.
Through eight games, Miller leads the Broncos in total penalties and resulting yards, having been flagged six times for 56 yards. He accounts for nearly 10 percent of the team’s total penalties.
Miller has three procedural penalties (defensive offside) to go with two roughing the passer and one unnecessary roughness.
You trade the good with the bad for a player of Miller’s cut – he’s aggressive to a fault at times, but he’s undoubtedly the most influential player on the Denver defense.
