Thread: Von Miller and Mom: Through Thick and Thin - NFL Films Presents

Perhaps some one of you has already posted this, and if so, sorry, but I just saw it for the first time, and thought it was worth a share:

It's quite a wonderful story. Guy has really come a long way.

Thanks for posting. It was a wonderful story.

I couldn't watch it. YouTube removed it.

"Watch this video on YouTube" is a link.

Von's mom sounds like my wife.

Apparently, Youtube doesn't allow embedded video but you can easily click on the link and watch it on Youtube.

Best NFL vid I've seen in a while. Von is the man.

It's the NFL that doesn't allow their youtube stuff to be embedded. smdh. Must be clicks on their acct for profit.

I watched a highlight reel of his on Youtube. Now, normally highlight reels are impressive. They are the best plays a player has made after all and might not be at all representative of his normal play. But, with Von, his highlights are simply unbelievable. You watch them and still can't figure out how he managed to do what he does.

Just ask Mike Remmers who will always be remembered as "the guy Von Miller torched in the SB in order to cause two fumbles that decided the game." It wasn't even his fault. The Vikings just gave him a 5 year, $30 M contract to play LT for them, so it isn't seen in NFL circles as a problem. It's just that Von is the most athletic LB in the NFL since Derrick Thomas. And before that you have to go back to Lawrence Taylor.

I agree. We are lucky to have him.

Go Von!! Glad and proud he's a BRONCO.

The way Von plays in space reminds me a lot more of Lawrence Taylor than DT. DT played primarily with his hand in the dirt.

He's a better pass rusher than either of them. LT went up against blocking tight ends for his prime years. DT played behind Smith, and needed him for a lot of help. Von Miller makes plays by himself. He's also better against the run than either of them, and can play some coverage. He's going to go down as the greatest pass rushing LB of all time. He's already a Hall of Famer in my eyes.

This post looks ridiculous at first glance, yet it might very well be true.
