The most “exciting two minutes in sports” just got a little more exciting.
Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is going to be back at the Kentucky Derby again this Saturday, this time in a different capacity.
Last spring, Miller was at Churchill Downs as a spectator for the 144th running of the Kentucky Derby and was looking dapper in his coral, pink and light blue plaid suit that was topped off with a classic straw hat.
This year, however, Miller is going to join NBC Sports derby coverage as a lifestyle correspondent.
Miller will be on hand to document the spectacle of Derby Day. From loud suits to big hats, Miller is looking forward to covering the derby for NBC Sports.
“As a fan of the Kentucky Derby, I am thrilled to be a part of NBC Sports’ coverage of this historic sporting event. I look forward to showcasing the excitement, fashion and enthusiasm at Churchill Downs,” Miller said via news release.
For a guy who has a flair for fashion, it will be fun to see what Miller has up his sleeve for Derby Day at Churchill Downs.
The Kentucky Derby is always held on the first Saturday in May. This year’s 145th derby will be held on May 4, “Star Wars Day,” with a post time of 4:50 MT.
You can watch it all the action unfold on NBC or NBCSN.
