Super Bowl MVP Von Miller has a lot on his plate this offseason, including appearances on talk shows and rumored participation in televised dance competitions.
But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t made time for his Alma mater.
The former Texas A&M linebacker has appeared on campus in support of the men’s basketball team since winning Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos last month.
He’s also expressed his support for former Aggies QB Johnny Manziel, who has found his name in the news for the wrong reasons several times since the Cleveland Browns ended their season in early January.
But, true to his words of support, it appears as though Miller really is spending time with Manziel.
Manziel posted a photo of the two of them together at UFC 196 on Saturday night:
Miller and Manziel were not alone as VIP at the fight night.
Troubled Browns WR Josh Gordon, who was forced to sit out the 2015 NFL season due to a violation of the league’s substance abuse policy, was also in attendance.
