Von Miller began the 2013 season on a six-game suspension and then suffered a torn ACL in December.

John Elway believes the difficult season has served as a wake-up call for Miller, who is one of the most talented pass rushers in the NFL.

"I think that (Miller) has grown up a lot," Elway said, according to the Broncos' official website. "I think he did a good job to adjusting, even though it affected him during the year.

"He's done a tremendous job of doing the right things and everything he's supposed to be doing. So hopefully he can continue to do that, because we'd love Von to be back to the Von we know he can be."
