Currently the outside linebacker for the Denver Broncos, Von Miller was drafted into the NFL by the same side in 2011 with the second overall pick. Throughout his eight-year career so far, Miller has failed to be selected for the Pro Bowl only once in 2013. He holds the franchise record of the Denver Broncos for most career sacks with 98. Miller led the franchise to a Super Bowl victory during the 2015 season when his Broncos side beat Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50. He was accorded the MVP honors for that game too.
A three-time All-Pro First Team Selection and a four-time All Pro-Second Team Selection, Von Miller also won the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award in 2011. He has an estimated net worth of $40 million.
Having already earned nearly $91 million in cumulative salaries throughout his career so far, Miller became the highest paid defensive player in NFL history when he signed a 6-year $114 million deal with the Broncos in July 2016. The contract included a total guaranteed sum of $70 million and a signing bonus of $17 million. As a result, Miller made $25.1 million in salaries alone that year.
In the 2018 season, the 29-year-old made a reported sum of $19.4 million in salaries. He is slated to earn $17.5 million in 2019 which includes $17 million in base salary and $500,000 in workout bonus.
Defensive players seldom attract big-name brands, but Von Miller improved his stocks after leading the Broncos to a victory in Super Bowl 50. In the past, he has endorsed the likes of Chef's Cut Jerky and Muzik headphones. As on now, he has a deal with Adidas and Best Buy.
In 2012, Von Miller established Von's Vision that seeks to provide free eye check-ups and glasses. The organization does this mostly through two of its events. The first one is Von's Vision Days which is a 2-day program that runs several times throughout the year. The second one is called the Von's Back to School Vision Day, which is an annual vision day where children are helped out with their eyesight needs before they head back to school.
