Overview:

Von Miller has recently been climbing up draft boards with his play at the Senior Bowl. He showed scouts he can play OLB in a 4-3 and that only increased his stock. His instincts are a lot better than I expected considering he hasn’t played a true 4-3 LB position. He may be overrated as a pass-rusher, but he will be a good LB at the next level.
