All Takes
I am not in the best shape of my life, but I am in pretty good shape
I wouldn't say the best shape, but I'm in pretty good shape. And honestly, out of my 15 years playing in National Football League, this is probably the best I've felt, you know, two weeks in into training camp.
Pass rush moves are actually overrated
I honestly think pass rush moves are overrated. Out of my 129 sacks, 90-95 sacks have come off some type of speed to power element. The ghost move gets highlighted but it is just a knuckle ball off of my speed.
I will bear-hug and kiss my dad on the lips on the Hall of Fame stage
I will on the stage, man. I'll hold him down. It's five years after you play so he probably won't have enough strength. I will bear hug him and I would kiss him on the lips. A big wet kiss.
Jalen Phillips will be one of the top pass rushers in the NFL
I think Jalen Phillips for the Miami Dolphins is a really good pass rusher. It's just a matter of time before he blows up. He has all the tools... I think over time he'd become one of the top pass rushers in the league.
Gregory Rousseau is going to have a breakout year this season
We got guys on our team as well... Greg Rousseau is gonna have a breakout year. I really have a lot of talent on this team... Greg Rousseau is gonna have a breakout year.

If I leave the Buffalo Bills, I'm done. If Brandon Beane trades me, I'm done. Wherever I get to, I'm done. I'm wrapping them up. This is my last stop... I love this place.
Ed Oliver is a beast who will be special once he reaches his full potential
Ed Oliver, man... he's super special. Once he really taps into like his Super Saiyan 10 mode, he'll be special as well. He has all the tools necessary to be great in this league.
Mitch Trubisky is going to be a great quarterback
Mitch Trubisky is going to be great. I mean, he had good spurts, right? I mean, I don't even think he would tell you that he's a finished product yet, but he has a lot of potential... Mitch is definitely not bad.
Drew Lock is a rock star leader for the Broncos
We got a rock star. Rock star. We got a rock star, like owning out the football field. I saw his demeanor with the other rookies... he was like the leader of the rookies off top from day one. And everybody just kind of gravitated towards him.
Philip Rivers is a Hall of Fame quarterback
I'm going to miss it [the rivalry]. He's a Hall of Fame quarterback in my eyes. He's a great quarterback. It would just be weird to look at the San Diego Chargers or the LA Chargers without Philip Rivers.
Odell Beckham Jr. probably handed out fake money at the National Championship as a stunt
But it was fake money. It was fake money. No, it was fake money... Knowing Odell [Beckham Jr.] personally, he probably—it was probably just like a stunt. Like he knew the camera was right there... He probably did that on purpose, like gave him the fake money to like make everybody go crazy.
I would be a successful goal-line running back or tight end
I feel like I would be the Von Miller of running backs if I was a running back... I've had this pitch for about since we won the Super Bowl. I should be playing offense in the goal line package. I practice with Todd Davis and I just don't feel like they can cover me like they can cover other tight ends.
I will pay the Pardon My Take hosts $1,000 each for every offensive touchdown I score next season
If you score a touchdown on offense... every single touchdown you score, you give each of us $1,000. [Von Miller] I like it. Done. ... Handshake deal. It's legal.
A New York City rat would beat a chicken in a fight
Who wins a fight? A New York rat or a chicken? [Von Miller] I'd say the rats. ... If it's a mouse, it's over [for the mouse]. But a rat, like especially a New York rat, it's over [for the chicken].
Brock Osweiler has the ideal size you want for a quarterback and an arm like nobody else
No, I think that's the size that you want [Brock Osweiler]. If you're tall like that, you have long arms. And his delivery, he can... If he can master it, it's like nobody will have an arm like that.
I believe I can play 10 more years in the NFL
I probably got like 10 more. Yeah, I probably got like six or like seven real years in me than the last three I just steal. Just get in on third downs.
Kirk Cousins is the Rihanna of NFL quarterbacks
I'm just the biggest Kirk Cousins fan in the world... It's like, if you're in a relationship, you know, your girlfriend would understand, okay. You got a wandering eye. [Kirk Cousins] is like Rihanna.
Johnny Manziel's football comeback is for real
I talk to Johnny [Manziel] once a week, and I truly believe, like, you know, this is it. You know, it's a whole comeback season movement is a great movement... Nothing would be doper to see Johnny come back to the National Football League and just tear stuff up.
Kirk Cousins is the perfect fit for the Denver Broncos
I just feel like Denver is just a perfect fit for Kirk [Cousins]. Not only just from my point of view, but if you just sit down and you look at it, it really doesn't get any better than that.
Brock Osweiler has the ideal size and delivery for an NFL quarterback
I think [Brock Osweiler]'s the size that you want. If you're tall like that, you have long arms. And his delivery, if he can master it, it's like nobody will have an arm like that. I like tall quarterbacks from Brock Osweiler, Ryan Mallett... [and] Josh Allen.
I have about 10 years left in the NFL
I probably got, like, 10 more [years]... I probably got, like, six or, like, seven, like, real years in me. Then the last three, I just steal. Just go to, like, just pass rush on third down.
Shaquem Griffin will translate successfully to the NFL
He's already proven that he can play. He's been playing football his whole entire life... He already has the measurables. He's already shown that he's gonna play that is gonna translate over into the National Football League... you definitely want a guy like that on your team.
Russell Wilson is the hardest quarterback to play against
Probably Russell Wilson... Just because he just breaks up the plays and you never get a hand on him? Yeah, he don't get tired, man. He run left, right, left, right... with Russell Wilson, he's trying to take the distance every single time.
I will be the 'Von Miller' of anything I choose to do
I think I would have been the Von Miller I am now in anything that I would have did. So if I would have been, you know, on this show with you guys, I feel like I would have been the Von Miller of talk shows.
Every state in the US will eventually legalize marijuana
Every state is going to be legalized. It's just a matter of time.
The chicken definitely came before the egg because God just created the bird first
I think it had to be the chicken. How did that chicken get made if there was going to be an egg? ... I feel like [God] just created the chicken and boom, the egg was next.
NFL players already fear the Broncos defense before the game even starts
Before we go in the game, we're already in the heads. ... When you turn the film and you see Broncos defense play, I think that automatically gets in quarterback's heads. ... You can watch an interview and you can kind of [smell fear].
Alex Smith is playing at an MVP level this season
Alex Smith is playing MVP-type football right now. ... you go down the line and they have stars everywhere.
There has never been a quarterback better at playing the position than Peyton Manning
When it comes to quarterback, being a quarterback and quarterbacking in the National Football League, there hasn't been a quarterback better than Peyton Manning. ... coming up to the line, being a quarterback, there's not a greater quarterback than Peyton Manning.
If I played offense I would be a tight end because I know how to beat defensive coverages
I'd probably be a tight end. That's a position that I know. I guard tight ends every single day. ... I understand what works, what doesn't work, how to beat the guys on defense because that's where my foundation is.
