When the Broncos play host to Cincinnati Sunday, those watching will get a chance to see two top-5 picks from the 2011 NFL Draft square off.

Linebacker Von Miller — the 2nd overall pick — has assumed a role in the starting lineup for Denver, and wide receiver A.J. Green — the 4th overall selection — has taken over for the departed Chad Ochocinco as the Bengals’ primary downfield threat.

Cincinnati Head Coach Marvin Lewis, who closely evaluated both prospects leading up to draft day, spent some time talking with the Denver media in a conference call earlier, and he isn’t at all surprised that both rookies are already playing significant roles for their respective teams.
