Von Miller, Broncos agree on six-year contract

"The 100 Yards" Staff Report

The Denver Broncos on Friday signed Von Miller to a contract through the 2021 season.

Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Broncos, recorded 11.5 sacks in his first season, earning selections as the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and as a Pro Bowl starter, just the second player in team history to make the Pro Bowl as a rookie. In 2012, Miller set the Broncos' franchise record for sacks in a single season with 18.5, and he was a first-team All-Pro selection.

With 11 sacks in the 2015 regular season and 14 in 2014, Miller's returned to an early career form that was only momentarily derailed in 2013 when he tore his ACL on Dec. 22 against the Texans before the Broncos went on a postseason run to Super Bowl XLVIII.
