My story on Broncos’ top draft choice Von Miller , meant to be a followup companion piece to Mike Klis’ coverage of Miller at the draft in New York, is in the Sunday paper.

I’m not naive. I’ve seen a lot of athletes transformed from convivial good guys when on stage (literally and figuratively) in connection with the NFL draft, to surly and/or misbehaving jerks once they are “indoctrinated” in the pro game.
