SAD NEWS: Buffalo bills announced that Keon Coleman is Leaving immediately after Facing…..
Public opinion regarding particular people or topics ebbs and flows, with perhaps no football player in recent memory being a more pertinent example of this idea than Buffalo Bills defensive end Von Miller.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame shoo-in was, just a few years ago, one of the most celebrated and marketed figures in professional football, a quick icon in Western New York after he inked a six-year, $120 million deal with the Bills in the 2022 offseason.
Some initially questioned the long-term feasibility of the contract—signing a player entering his age-33 season is, admittedly, bold—but Miller quickly silenced doubters, notching eight sacks throughout his first 10 games in a Buffalo uniform.
The NFL’s active-all-time sack leader was bringing his unique form of dominance to the City of Good Neighbors, his signing, at least initially, paying obvious dividends.
Miller tore his ACL in a Week 11 contest with the Detroit Lions in the 2022 NFL season, putting a premature end to a campaign that was shaping up to be yet another productive one for the veteran pass-rusher.
He rehabbed intensely, optimistically suggesting at several points throughout the final weeks of the 2022 season that he hoped to return before ultimately returning in Week 5 of the 2023 season, less than 11 months after suffering the initial injury.
