Von Miller is a Tom Brady fanatic. No, that’s not a typo.
In a recent episode of Miller’s podcast, “The Voncast,” the linebacker linked up with Julian Edelman, the former New England Patriots receiver who won three Super Bowls with Brady and was named Super Bowl MVP in 2019.
Early on in the episode, Miller expressed his love for Brady and told Edelman that he almost got a tattoo to show his fondness for the seven-time Lombardi trophy winner.
“It was going to be a 12 like the Patriots number type of numerical font and an 18 like the Broncos number font,” Miller said. “At the last minute I was like no, I might as well just save this spot for a future day.”
Bills Mafia is likely relieved Miller, now a star pass rusher in blue, red and white, didn’t follow through with the idea.
Miller went on to talk about Brady’s down-to-earth personality and believes the only reason to not like Brady is a bad reason — “Because he wins.”
Miller started to really like Brady while at a Kentucky Derby and saw Brady’s “smiley” personality and welcoming nature. Miller was also able to get Brady to do an interview with CBS Sports, something that he did not typically do.
Edelman joked that the feelings are not mutual, expressing how the Patriots had to change snap counts when playing against Miller as a Bronco. He specifically brought up the 2013 AFC Championship game and how the Pats hoped the match would be snow-filled and make it difficult for Peyton Manning to grip the pigskin.
The weather wasn’t what New England had hoped for.
“It was 75 (degrees) and sunny and Von Miller was in our backfield before he (Brady) even said hut,” Edelman said. “I was in the slot and I go and I’m looking at the ball and you were already in the backfield before I got off my first step.”
Edelman also made a jab at Brady for doing an interview with Miller, but not coming on his podcast.
