Buffalo Bills pass rusher Von Miller went viral during a Thursday Night Football game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2 when Prime Video cameras showed him on the sideline wearing a hat signed by … himself.
Miller also signed his sidelined hats while playing for the Denver Broncos, and he explained why in 2018.
“This is mine,” Miller told Denver-area media members when asked about a signed hat six years ago. “It’s really from the game. We all have got the same hats on the sideline and I like to wear my hat all game, so I just autographed it. I just autograph and sign so when I come to the sideline I can know which one is mine.”
Miller totaled four pressures and one sack on 14 pass-rush snaps in a 31-10 win over the Dolphins on Thursday. “Miller’s 2.10-second average time to pressure [was] his fastest in a game since 2021,” according to NFL Next Gen Stats.
“The way I win now is get off.” @KirkHerbstreit explaining how Von Miller uses his get off at this stage of his career to still get sacks.@VonMiller uses a great get off/rush angle along with active hands to slap the blocker hands down & get to the QB! #PassRush #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/ljFR5upLvO

Miller now has 125.5 career sacks in the regular season, tying Dwight Freeney for 18th place on the NFL’s all-time sack list. He is one sack away from tying Derrick Thomas, who was Miller’s inspiration to wear No. 58 in Denver.
Now that was VINTAGE Von Miller right there. The tackle had no chance, the QB had no chance. Wooooooo! That’s 2 sacks in 2 games for Von. He might have his swagger back😈

After returning from a torn ACL, Miller failed to record any sacks in 12 games last season. Now healthy again, the 35-year-old pass rusher has recorded a sack in each of his first two games this fall.
Von looking vintage and healthy…

Miller was picked by the Broncos second overall in the 2011 NFL draft out fo Texas A&M. He helped the team win Super Bowl 50 in 2015 and later won a second Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. Miller signed with Buffalo in 2022 and it looks like he has now returned to his pre-injury form, signed hat and all.
