If you care about such things, PFF completed their top 101 players of 2014 today with numbers 10-1. I haven't followed most of the others, but I thought it might interest some of you to see that two Broncos made their top 10 - Von Miller at #10 and Chris Harris at #4 (JJ Watt was, once again, number one):


10. Von Miller, ED, Denver Broncos (68th)

Just another season of excellence as we have come to expect from Miller. Back on a full 16-game schedule, Miller recorded 74 total pressures, the second-best season of his short career in that regard. More than just a pure pass rusher, Miller continues to put his immense physical talents to good use in run defense, earning a grade above +20.0 in that area for the fourth straight season.

Best Performance: Week 10, DEN@OAK, +7.9

Key Stat: Miller graded positively as a pass rusher in all bar two games this season, consecutive outings against San Diego and Cincinnati.


4. Chris Harris Jr, CB, Denver Broncos (64th)

Coming so quickly off the back of a torn ACL, Harris’ season was scarcely believable. A positive grade in every single game, a season passer rating allowed below 50, no touchdowns allowed and less than 400 yards conceded on more than 700 coverage snaps. Throw in that he covered the slot for more than 250 snaps and Harris’ season is all the more remarkable.

Best Performance: Week 5, ARZ@DEN, +4.1

Key Stat: Harris has earned a positive coverage grade in each of his last 20 starts and hasn’t had a coverage grade below -1.0 since Week 5 2012

Think about how good Jr would be if he didn't run like an old lady.
