Von Miller’s post-Super Bowl tour continued this week with the ESPN carwash, where he made the rounds at the network’s Bristol, Conn., headquarters Thursday.
He stopped by NFL Live and even took a selfie with Darren Woodson (below). And he joined to talk about football and Super Bowl 50 and, obviously, chickens.
Miller is a chicken farmer, a fact that has been well-documented over the years, this one especially. He majored in poultry science at Texas A&M and has his own farm in Texas.
“My operation is real, real intimate,” he told Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic on Thursday. “I was waiting on the Broncos to give me a little bit more money, where I could go commercial. But right now it’s just intimate. I only have about 20 to 35 birds, and they’re not really for eating. They’re more like pets. Those are my guys.”
The man even has .
“I need to get me some chicken commercials. Happy Chickens,” . “Pump in a little Sade.”
As we learned from a few of his closest friends, via , Miller’s chicken love is no joke.
Damontre Moore:
The Super Bowl MVP has a real chicken farm. A legitimate farm. That he maintains himself. He’s even got roosters. If you go down to DeSoto, Texas, you can stop by Von’s farm and get yourself a dozen organic eggs. This is real.
Cyrus Gray:
You’re the first Super Bowl MVP with a tattoo of a rooster, I’m pretty sure about that.
Von:
Roosters are dope.
Right, so Miller is about to get a massive contract, perhaps the largest given to any defensive player if he and the Broncos can reach a long-term agreement by mid-July. And, as he explained Thursday, he’s already got plans for how he’ll use some of the money.
“It’s going to be something that I’m definitely going to be involved with,” he said while on Mike & Mike. “And it’s not going be like all these other big corporations. The health care for my birds is gonna be like any other company. The life of my birds is going to be great. I’m going to have a live feed in there, in the cages so you can see how the birds are living. They’re gonna want to live with me. They’re gonna be treated good.”
