Here’s the good news: Von Miller is really, really good. Now, the bad news: He may be too good for the Broncos’ own good.
According to James Palmer of NFL.com, Von Miller was so dominant this offseason that he made it near impossible for the Broncos offense to actually get any work done.
A few Broncos players admitted to me it was hard to get things accomplished on offense during camp because Von Miller was that disruptive

It’s not surprising, either. While Miller is one of the best defensive players of his generation, the Broncos collection of linemen and quarterbacks are, well, developing. We saw how difficult he made life for Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady and Cam Newton in the playoffs last season, and their future Hall of Famers; imagine what he’s been doing to Trevor Siemian.
The other way to look at this, though, is that the Broncos offense isn’t likely to face many defenders like Miller anytime soon. If they can survive his assault, they can survive anything.
Let’s just hope No. 58 has done enough on both sides of the ball to prepare the Denver Broncos for the 2016 season.
