You won’t find a person with a bigger heart than 2-Time Super Bowl Champion Von Miller! This self proclaimed “Nerd” has made it cool to wear glasses. Von’s Vision has helped kids everywhere and made him a perennial candidate for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year for commitment to community! Von has never forgotten where he came from as the DeSoto, Texas community celebrates “Von Miller Day” every year! South Dallas is the area that shaped him whether it’s the former DeSoto ISD AD Pam DeBorde, his teammates, or legendary coach Claude Mathis who almost coached him. Find out why he was nicknamed “Precious”.
With the help of his Mom, Von snuck around his Dad’s back to play youth football and was an instant champion! Von almost quit football his sophomore year when Texas A&M Coach Mike Sherman suspended him for the Spring Game. Von drove home and his tough-love father drove him right back to the College Station and the rest is history. He would go on to win the Dick Butkus Award for the nation’s #1 LB and become the 2nd overall pick in the NFL Draft. He was selected right behind Cam Newton who he beat in Super Bowl 50 and won the MVP! His 13-year career has produced 8 Pro-Bowls on 3 different teams and a HOF career like two of his beloved teammates, DeMarcus Ware and Aaron Donald. Von talks about his homes-away-from-home: Denver, Buffalo, and of course…the Bills Mafia! In Free Agency, he was very close to becoming a Dallas Cowboy in his hometown. He’s an entertainer extraordinaire: from Wheel of Fortune to Chicken Farming to Dancing with the Stars!
This struggling comedian has a Heart of Gold and will make you smile!
