Von Miller:

Von Miller is coming off his worst statistical season since back in 2013 when he nabbed just five sacks in nine games. In 2019, Miller had eight sacks in 15 games. While he was still a force off the edge, he simply wasn’t his usual self this past season. Even still, Miller is worth a pretty penny to any team in need of pass-rushing help.

The Baltimore Ravens should have some interest in Miller. He’d instantly upgrade the front-seven with his overall elite play. Miller does an excellent job setting the edge vs. the run, something that can’t be overstated while pleading my case for the Ravens to go after him.

Right now, Baltimore’s front-seven is missing a true butt-kicker. The defensive line has Brandon Williams eating offensive linemen alive, but there’s no one coming off the edge to truly make the front seven a formidable force. Miller would step right in and fill those shoes and then some.

Best of all is Miller’s leadership will help young pass rushers like Tyus Bowser and Jaylon Ferguson flourish. Learning from the best of the best does exactly that for these young sponges.

At 31-years old (at the end of March), Von Miller still has plenty left in the tank. Baltimore could rely on him to be their star pass rusher and take this defense to new heights. A defense featuring Von Miller and Earl Thomas should strike fear in the hearts of opposing quarterbacks.
