SANTA CLARA, Calif., (Reuters) – Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller was named the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl 50 following his team’s 24-10 triumph over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.Miller forced a pair of fumbles from Carolina quarterback Cam Newton that led to touchdowns to boost the Broncos to their third Super Bowl triumph and first in 17 years.
The 26-year-old Miller one-upped National Football League regular season Most Valuable Player Newton with his brilliant defensive effort.
Miller was the number two overall choice in the 2011 NFL draft out of Texas A&M, while Newton was taken first overall after winning a national college championship with Auburn.
“I thought at that time I could be number one, but (Carolina) didn’t see it that way. They took Cam Newton,” Miller said in the run-up to the National Football League’s title game.
Now Miller has something the Newton does not – a Super Bowl championship.
Miller, as he did in Denver’s AFC title game victory over the New England Patriots two weeks ago, recorded 2-1/2 sacks along with the fumbles he forced against Newton in a bravura performance at Levi’s Stadium.
Lightning quick off the edge of the defensive line as he makes life miserable for opposing quarterbacks, Miller also registered six tackles.
