Bills’ Von Miller shows relentless work ethic in Texas heat

Organized team activities are long over and training camp has yet to begin, but Buffalo Bills defensive end Von Miller hasn’t stopped.

Miller, 35, a first-ballot Hall of Famer, is working to recapture the “old Von” after a torn ACL derailed his 2022 tenure with the Bills.

With the OL Brain Summit In class in Frisco, Texas, this week, Miller was spotted working out with other defensive linemen near the venue. NFL Network guru Brian Baldinger, who was a scheduled speaker at the offensive lineman-centric event, shared a video clip of Miller in action on the social media site now known as X.

Known affectionately for his “Baldy’s Breakdowns,” Baldinger, a former professional hog mollie, showed a shirtless and barefoot Miller demonstrating his pass rush technique and hand placement on the field in the Texas heat. It was reportedly 98.5 degrees in Frisco on Friday.

Speaking on the video, Baldinger identified New England Patriots starter Deatrich Wise and John Franklin-Myers, who was recently traded from the New York Jets to the Denver Broncos, working together with Green Bay Packers defensive end Rashan Gary also present.

Miller will be back in Western New York in two weeks. The Bills veterans are expected to report to training camp July 23 in Rochester.

Although he was activated in Week 5 of last season, Miller looked like a shadow of the pass rusher who recorded 8.0 sacks in his first 10.5 games as a Bill.

“I think Von will be more like the Von we know this year. He puts the team first. He wants to win. He’s said that since the day he got here,” general manager Brandon Beane said at league meetings in late March.

Miller, a former Super Bowl MVP with 123.5 career sacks, reported a record during OTAs when he practices without a knee brace. The former second overall draft pick shared an optimistic outlook.

“I know what I can do, what I can still do,” Miller said. “I still feel like I have a few more years to play and I’m going to give it my all.”
