ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Ask any NFL quarterback and they'll tell you Von Miller is a pretty scary dude.
The runner-up Defensive Player of the Year in his second season, Miller hounded opposing signal-callers for 18.5 sacks and six forced fumbles in 2012.
But after a disjointed third season limited by suspension and injury, Miller almost sounded like a rookie when talking about his expected return to the field on Sunday.
"I was super nervous in the preseason game," he said Wednesday. "That’s something I’ve been trying to work on in practice, getting the nerves going and just trying to calm myself down at practice."
