Englewood, CO (Sports Network) – Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller talked to the media for the first time since his pending four-game suspension.<\/p>\n
Miller is facing a four-game ban for violating league policy. The case is currently under appeal.<\/p>\n
The Denver Post reported Monday that Miller tested positive for amphetamines and marijuana in 2011.<\/p>\n
Miller was asked Wednesday, on the eve of Denver’s training camp, if smoking marijuana was part of his life. The linebacker answered, “Absolutely not.”<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Miller had little to say on his possible four-game suspension.<\/p>\n
“Out of respect for confidentiality and out of respect for this being an ongoing situation, I can’t really touch on further details about it,” Miller said.<\/p>\n
Denver coach John Fox said Miller will get every rep with the first team until the Broncos receive any official word about the linebacker’s status.<\/p>\n
Miller was the second overall pick in the 2011 draft. The Texas A&M product recorded 64 tackles and 11 1\/2 sacks in his rookie season and was named the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Miller built on his impressive rookie campaign by posting 68 tackles and 18 1\/2 sacks in 2012.<\/p>\n
The Broncos face the Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants, Oakland Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles in the first four weeks of the 2013 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
