Von Miller isn’t only helping the Broncos’ defense prepare for the 2020 season. Miller is also helping Denver’s young stars on offense.
“Von will actually send me different videos that he would find over the break,” Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton said on Aug. 4. “He would send me different videos and share them with me. I would always appreciate him doing that because they were different things.”
Miller also sent motivational videos to outside linebacker Bradley Chubb. The videos he sent to Sutton featured Derek Jeter, Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods and Shaun White talking about how they handle pressure.
“Shaun White, he loves being in that position where the pressure is on him because he feels like he gets to go out there and perform the best he knows how just because it’s easy for him,” Sutton said. “He doesn’t look at the pressure as something he’s afraid of.
“He attacks the pressure and attacks it as an opportunity to go out and prove that all the hard work that he’s put in and all those long days and nights are coming to fruition. I think that’s the same thing for us.”
White is an Olympic gold-medalist snowboarder. The Broncos won’t be competing in the Olympics but they are aiming to win trophies and following the leads of Jeter, Phelps, Woods and White could help them accomplish those goals. It’s easy to see why Miller is a team captain.
