NFL star Von Miller had a slip-up, calling the Washington Commanders by their old name, as President Donald Trump looked to make that change happen.
Training camp stats mean next to nothing. Teams and players are trying out plays, personnel, formations and a host of other variables. That's especially true for quarterbacks. Why take a "sack" (there's no actual contact) or even take off and run when you can try to see if a pass works or a pass-catcher can make it work?
"Let me rush, that's what I do," Miller said Thursday. "I can still roll out of bed at 36 years old with my shoes on and rush the passer. I can do that right when I wake up fresh out of sleep. I love rushing the passer."
ASHBURN, Va. — Nobody in the game right now has more quarterback sacks than him. Von Miller has no doubt there’s more in the tank. “I can still roll out the bed at 36 years old with my couch shoes on and still rush the passer," he said at his first media appearance as a member of the Washington Commanders.
He didn't just stumble into DC. The future hall of famer explains why he left a contender and what makes him believe this Commanders team is built to win.
The Washington Commanders need a better pass rush, and Von Miller dropped a defiant take on his ability to still destroy QBs.

Miller (6-3, 250 pounds) started his career in Denver and set a franchise record with 110.5 sacks in 142 games. He was a star of the team's famous "No Fly Zone" defense from the 2015 season, taking home Super Bowl MVP honors after the team defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50.
