3. Von Miller

Von Miller not placing No. 1 on any list is always a confusing sight. With 13.5 sacks on the season, nearly 100 sacks for his career, and a Super Bowl MVP award to his name, Miller is no-doubt an impact player for the Broncos.

Miller’s superstardom is going to keep the Browns thinking about him the entire game. He can do everything, and he will do everything, to disrupt Cleveland’s attack. Baker Mayfield has been good, even great, against the blitz this year, but he hasn’t seen the 6-3 physical freak that is Von Miller yet.

There’s not much to say about Miller that hasn’t already been said. He ran a sub-4.5 second 40-yard dash at the 2011 NFL Combine. He is one of, if not the premier pass-rusher in the NFL. He is going to cause chaos all over the field. He is going to come for your quarterback, and there is really nothing you can do about it.

The Browns will have a tall task ahead of them in attempting to slow down Miller’s overwhelming pass rush. Cleveland Left tackle Greg Robinson hasn’t been great against speed rushers this season, and his problems against the Houston Texans defensive line show that on the tape. The problems the Browns might have with Miller are only compounded by the presence of his main cohort on the defensive line.
