NFL star Von Miller had a slip-up, calling the Washington Commanders by their old name, as President Donald Trump looked to make that change happen.
Up front, Washington added Miller and Jacob Martin as pass rushers but also loaded up with big bodies in Javon Kinlaw, Eddie Goldman and Deatrich Wise Jr. in an effort to help fix a unit that ranked 30th in rushing yards allowed.
Miller addressed the Commanders media on Thursday and opened up about why he chose to sign with Washington. For him, it's hard to find a compelling destination after playing with a star like Josh Allen, but the Commanders fit the bill for him.
ASHBURN, Va. — Nobody in the game right now has more quarterback sacks than him. Von Miller has no doubt there’s more in the tank. “I can still roll out the bed at 36 years old with my couch shoes on and still rush the passer," he said at his first media appearance as a member of the Washington Commanders.

Yardbarker on MSNVon Miller hilariously claps back at doubtersThe Washington Commanders needed a pass-rusher, so they turned their attention to a future Hall of Famer despite some questioning whether he is still able to be a significant contributor.
Miller (6-3, 250 pounds) started his career in Denver and set a franchise record with 110.5 sacks in 142 games. He was a star of the team's famous "No Fly Zone" defense from the 2015 season, taking home Super Bowl MVP honors after the team defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50.
