Give it up for Denver Broncos LB Von Miller! Von defeated 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith to become the 2011 Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year!
In his first season he made 64 tackles and had 11½ sacks despite missing one game and playing the last four with a cast protecting his surgically repaired right thumb - ouch! He's also the second Bronco to win the award - LB Mike Croel got it in 1991.
