The Los Angeles Rams have won the Super Bowl LVI. A key contributor to the Rams’ victory was linebacker Von Miller. Miller won his second Super Bowl championship with the Rams. In addition, Miller became the first player in NFL history to record multiple sacks for two different teams in a Super Bowl.

Miller racked up 4.5 sacks over two Super Bowls, including two sacks in Sunday’s game. As a result, he is tied with Charles Haley for the most Super Bowl sacks. Von Miller has played in only two title games compared to Haley’s five. Therefore, Miller’s statistics are even more impressive.

After the Super Bowl win, Von Miller said to NFL Network, “This is for D.T., my son Val, [late sports psychologist] Trevor Moawad, all of my teammates here.” As Miller celebrated his victory, he made sure to thank those who inspired him throughout his journey, including the late Demaryius Thomas.

Miller and DT were teammates for the Broncos when they won the Super Bowl in 2015. In the same interview, he also said, “I was playing for DT. He passed away suddenly in December.”

In the 2010 NFL Draft, the Broncos selected Thomas in the first round. In his career spanning ten seasons, DT recorded 724 passes for 9,763 yards and 63 touchdowns. Additionally, he made five Pro Bowl appearances and was named twice to the All-Pro second team. Unfortunately, in December 2021 he died of a seizure, as reported by his family.

Therefore, Von Miller honored his late friend after winning his second Super Bowl title. However, following the big win, Miller will enter this offseason as a free agent. Thus, it will be intriguing to see how things pan out for him. Will he stay with the Rams? Is he considering returning to the Broncos? Is there a third team on his list?
