Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller plans to bring back a popular celebration to the Mile High City this fall.
“Bringing back the ‘Mile High Salute’ heavy this season,” Miller wrote on his Instagram page last week.
The Mile High Salute was popularized by former running back Terrell Davis during the 1990s. Davis, the Broncos’ all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017.
Denver’s current running back, Phillip Lindsay — who grew up watching Davis — wears T.D.’s old jersey number (30) and he has used the salute as a touchdown celebration. It looks like Miller plans to join in on the fun this season, perhaps using the salute as a sack celebration like he did as a rookie.
Miller, 31, has totaled 106 sacks in his career.
