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.

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.

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.

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.
