After years away from the Denver Broncos, where the veteran became a superstar, Von Miller made a bold public statement that quickly caught the attention across the league. The pass rusher is all determined to make one more run in Denver.
On Wednesday, 27 May 2026, during his appearance in Colorado discussed his return to the Broncos for the 2026 NFL season. The Super Bowl 50 MVP admitted that he wants to reunite with head coach Sean Payton and the franchise.
"I think there's no question the type of environment I bring to a locker room and to a team, said Von Miller via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post.
"I don't like to pat myself on the back, but at 37 years old, I can still roll out of bed and rush the quarterback," he added.

Miller’s comments reflected his enduring confidence.The two-time Super Bowl champion finished last season with nine sacks and 26 total tackles (16 solo) while playing for the Washington Commanders.
Miller expressed that he wanted to be a general manager. He wouldn't be taking a starting job and wouldn't play special teams, but he could offer his pass-rushing and leadership abilities on the field.
He wants to bring back the Super Bowl 50 vibes. Miller is the only player who could replicate that impact for the Broncos since Peyton Manning, as per Chad Jensen of Sports Illustrated.
In his 16 year long career, he played a decade for the Broncos from 2011 to 2021. He played in 142 games, recording 509 total tackles (390 solo), 142 tackles for loss, 225 QB hits and 21 pass deflections.
