Von Miller wasted no time in making his presence felt upon signing for the Washington Commanders. And one veteran teammate highlighted another major benefit to his arrival that has gone completely overlooked.
The Commanders desperately needed more pass-rushing assistance before Week 1 against the New York Giants. Fans were becoming increasingly restless, but general manager Adam Peters had one more ace up his sleeve with Miller.
Although Miller is firmly at the tail-end of his Pro Football Hall of Fame career, he's confident he can still generate pressure consistently. It might not be from an every-down role these days, but he was productive enough for the Buffalo Bills last season to suggest there is some good football left.
