Miller later rose as a cornerstone for the Broncos after landing as the second overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. He unleashed a 2.5-sack evening against the Carolina Panthers to win Super Bowl 50 for Denver in the 2015 season, it’s last title involving quarterback Peyton Manning
The edge rusher eventually won a second Super Bowl following a high-profile midseason trade with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. He played in eight regular season games total alongside Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey on defense. That Rams team held off the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 to capture the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Miller eventually signed a six-year, $120 million deal with Buffalo in the 2022 offseason
He’ll now join a defense featuring first round rookie at safety Caleb Downs. But he also has newly extended Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark up front on the defensive line
