Last year, the Denver Broncos raised a lot of eyebrows when they traded up to the first round to pick Tim Tebow. This year, there's no such controversy as they picked Von Miller of Texas A&M with the second overall pick. Miller won the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker last season, and was a consensus All-American as well. Fortunately for Broncos fans, Miller should be patroling Mile High Stadium for years to come, giving the Denver faithful a reminder of the good ol' Bill Romanowski days (minus the expectoration). Also fortunately for Broncos fans, Josh McDaniels is already out as head coach, so they won't have to worry about Miller saving his job.
Before his big day at Radio City, we got with Von at his Alan David Custom suit fitting with Conversion Sports to see how Complex he really is.
