Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has not been shy about expressing his high expectations for the 2019 NFL season. It appears he was also speaking for fellow linebacker Bradley Chubb.

Miller has been impressed with his teammate's development this offseason. According to Aric DiLalla of the team's official website, he is expecting big things from Chubb in Year 2.

“I don’t even know what he did,” Miller said. “If I find out what he did, I’m going to start doing it. I think it’s just natural. I think it’s just natural for defensive players to take a huge leap from Year 1 to 2. You saw it with me. I had 11 sacks and I jumped to 18.5 sacks my second year. You saw the same thing with Khalil Mack and Vic Beasley and all of these guys. Same thing with Bradley Chubb. I don’t know if it’s a certain drill or sleep or whatever else, I just think it’s exposure and time. He will definitely be a brand-new player this season.”

The prospect of Chubb taking his play up to the next level is certainly an encouraging one for Denver. The Broncos made quite the investment when they decided to pair Miller up with another talented pass rusher with the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He was able to justify his status by finishing his rookie campaign with 12.0 sacks, 60 tackles, and two forced fumbles.

The Broncos have ushered in some significant changes this offseason, however, Miller is optimistic that the arrival of head coach Vic Fangio is just what this defense needs kick things up a notch. There is no question that Fangio will be relying heavily on his talented edge-rushing duo to serve as a stabilizing factor for this group in the 2019 campaign.
