Von Miller: You might see Johnny Manziel in Denver
Could Johnny Manziel end up with the Denver Broncos? Von Miller thinks so.
Miller was the subject of a cool feature in GQ and did a Q&A with the outlet. In the interview, he talked about his Super Bowl-winning experience, playing with Peyton Manning, and more. One of the most interesting topics was Manziel, who is one of Miller’s Texas A&M buddies.
Miller has a lot of confidence in Manziel and thinks he will be back in the NFL.
“Not only will he be back in the league—of course I’m biased—I still feel like he has a lot of game left in him,” Miller said of Manziel in his interview with GQ. “I feel like the world hasn’t even seen him get down yet. Some of the stuff he was doing in college, he gonna do the exact same thing in the National Football League. I feel like—you know you never want to blame a team—I don’t think he had enough support around him. Who knows? You might see Johnny Manziel in Denver.”
That’s one of the biggest endorsements of Manziel we’ve seen in a while. But Miller also says he is coming from a place of love towards the former Heisman Trophy winner.
“I love him to death. And he knows the type of support he has. It’s ultimately all up to the individual but it also takes a support system and the type of support Johnny has is second to none. I’m first on that list. Whatever he needs, I’m going to get it done for him.”
Miller says he’s not there to give Manziel advice — especially when Miller himself has screwed up and made many mistakes — but he just wants to give his friend support. He also said something shocking about Manziel, saying the QB “wants to be great.”
Those of us who have seen Johnny Football sneak off to Vegas during weeks when his team is playing would beg to differ. But it’s nice to know at least some people are still in his corner. If he’s going to do that, he’ll certainly need a lot of support from his friends.
