Broncos Rookie Linebacker Von Miller Answers Fan Questions

As part of CBS4's Xfinity Monday Live! broadcast each week sports fans get a chance to pose questions to the special guest. This week, Denver Broncos rookie linebacker Von Miller was the guest, and he responded to questions on a variety of topics. Read the questions and his responses from the Riddle Me This segment of the show in the following transcript:

Josh asks: Do you wear glasses or contacts during the game, and has a contact ever fallen out?

Von Miller: Oh yeah, contacts fall out all the time. It's probably once in every four games. But I just go to the sidelines and my trainers pop them right back in.

David asks: Do you believe you can get 15 sacks this season?

Von Miller: Fifteen sacks is a lot! I just want to contribute and contribute to win. That's all I'm worried about.

Vic Lombardi: What have you enjoyed most about Denver and Colorado so far?

Von Miller: I haven't really had that much time to go out. I've just been at the facility and around that area. Everybody tells me that Denver's a great place, so I'm just anxious to get out and see the city.

Jen asks: Do you feel pressure to live up to the No. 2 pick? Every time someone does an interview and talks about Von Miller they always talk about how great you can become.

Von Miller: No pressure. Luckily I'm on a team with superstars -- Elvis Dumervil, Brian Dawkins, Champ Bailey -- so it really is no pressure at all for me to just go out there and play. I'm in a fortunate situation and I just want to take advantage of it.

Vic Lombardi: Tell us the story behind you choosing No. 58 as your jersey number.

Von Miller: Derrick Thomas was one of my favorite players, and I figured if I had pick a number in the 50s I might as well pick the number of my role model -- 58.
