1. Von Miller

I think I gave this one away on the previous page.

There isn’t much to say about this guy other than calling him a game breaker.  After the Broncos selected him in the second round of the 2011 draft, he became a star.  Every year except for 2013, Miller has posted a minimum of 11 sacks.  His career high was 18.5 posted in 2012.  Miller has been selected to the Pro Bowl every year except for 2013 as well.

He was off in 2013 due to a drug related six game suspension and an ACL tear.

Let’s also not forget about his dominance in big games.  In the run to the Super Bowl 50 title, Miller posted 6.5 sacks, including 2.5 against the Panthers on that faithful February night, earning him the MVP of the game.

The Bucs should be afraid.  They should be very afraid of this guy.
