Peyton Manning played with a lot of players over his 18-year NFL career, but he said one stands out as the best athlete: Broncos linebacker Von Miller.
In an , Manning had high praise for the Super Bowl 50 MVP.
“Just some of the things he can do physically is special,” Manning said. “So when you come to a Broncos game and they’re on defense, you find yourself kind of locked in, seeing this might be the game-changing sack-fumble play, or interception — some kind of game-changing play he can make. I like the way he handles his business and like the way he competes out there.”
Manning and Miller played together on the Broncos from 2012-15.
