If Von Miller isn’t the best defensive player in the NFL, he’s at least in the conversation, and you could make the case that he’s on pace to become one of the best defensive players in NFL history.
He’s supremely talented. He’s a freak. He can do just about everything.
Rush the passer? Check. Stop the run? You betcha. Drop back into coverage? Anytime. Play on offense? Not yet, but he’d love to.
Kick field goals? Uh … nope.

That, Von, is what we call a shank.
