Buffalo Bills’ Von Miller cites motivator during OTAs

Buffalo Bills defensive end Von Miller still has a few reasons to continue his playing career these days.

As Miller, 35, attempts to win a Super Bowl with his third different franchise, he also draws motivation from his two young sons.

“My sons are just starting to come around,” Miller said during an OTA press briefing. “Every time they see the Buffalo Bills logo, they say, ‘Dad, Dad!’ They see my 40 jersey and they say, ‘Daddy, daddy!’

Miller, who has 123.5 career sacks, is trying to return to his 2022 form. After tearing his ACL, the Super Bowl 50 MVP needed most of the 2023 season to get back to cruising speed . Now, nearly 19 months after his injury, Miller is optimistic about the upcoming campaign.

“At the end of the day, all I have is my optimism and my faith,” Miller said. “I know what I can, what I can still do at the end of the day. Every time God says it’s over, then it will be over. I always feel like I still have a few years and I’m going to give it my all.”

Miller and the Bills will participate in a mandatory minicamp this week (June 11-13) at Orchard Park.
