We’re back from the bye week and focused on another tough game this week.
During the bye, I went to New York to promote my foundation, Von’s Vision, which gives back to underprivileged kids who can’t afford glasses, eye exams, lasik surgery and contacts. I went to New York to promote that with the hip hop dance experience video game.
Every time I do that sack dance they donate $1,000 to my foundation, so hopefully I can make a couple of big plays and raise money for an important cause.
I’m going to change it up a little bit, but hopefully we can see it a lot of times this season. Every time I can do it, it means more money for Von’s Vision, which is very important to me.
It was great to get away from football and relax your mind for a bit, but you know what? There’s no job like this, and I’m happy to be back.
We face a really good offense this week led by Drew Brees. He’s a great quarterback and we’re definitely going to have to be on top of our stuff. We’re going to have to get off on third downs. Our personnel, we’re too deep, personnel wise, with Elvis, Champ, Rahim and Tracy Porter, we should be rated a lot higher on third downs. So, I’m hoping we have a positive week this week, get off on third downs and that’ll be a key to this game.
It’s always great to play a primetime game, for family and friends to see nation-wide, and it’s good for our city. It’s good for Denver to promote what we’re doing out here.
Gig em!

I got your Fathead and it looks great in the woman cave! Have a great game, stay safe. Let the money roll in to your charity. Great one. #RESPECT.
Again, having special need kids (blind), this Von”s Vission means a lot to me!! I met u @ the NFL store around Draft week.. couldnt of came @ a better time! Ill keep supporting the movement!! Broncofanforlife!!!
Despite being focused on Baseball, Harlem RBI is another great organization in NY, and potential partner for Von’s Vision, as I could see VV change the lives of so many kids.
Much respect!
That is a great cause for sure! Good luck to you Von & the rest of the team…
What’s up with the pictures? Lol
I love you as a player because of your play on the field and your honorable conduct off the field. You are a role model to so many. Your cause of caring for those with vision issues deserves respect. God Bless you and God Bless all the Broncos as I will always bleed orange and Blue even though I live in Pittsburgh…. GO BRONCOS!!!!
Hi Von! I think it’s great what you do for the kids. I sure wish there was something like that around when I was a kid and we were too poor to even to afford to fix my broken glasses. I had a staple in my the middle of my broken plastic glasses for most of my 2nd grade year.
Keep up the good work on and off the field!
You’re doing amazing works! Not only is it a pleasure to watch your athletic talents and dance moves on the field, but its a pleasant surprise to know you do awesome things off the field as well! Proud of you! =0)
Von just brought out the ladies. You rock Von, glad to have you on the team.
Taking care of business during the off season.. Time to take care of business on the field! Excited for the future of our organization! Orange Crush baby
Whoa, guys! Read this article. Crikey! No one wants to play football more than Peyton Manning:
http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2012/10/post_235.html
The more I learn about his comeback the more impressed I am.
Von, you introduce Drew Brees to our Von Doom package tomorrow ok?!?
That was an amazing read TIcat! Thank you for sharing
Great stuff Von, your doing a great thing in giving back to the community in this way. I used to make glasses awhile back and know how expensive it is to buy specs and contacts and the like. I worked for one company that made glasses for kids that came from poor family’s a few days out of the year. My God, how rewarding it is to experience that back in the day. It’s very moving to see a child put on some brand new glasses that they don’t normal have. I can go on!! It’s so neat, WOW! Blessings Von!!
Thanks Cat, That is what I call determination, how could anyone doubt how much Peyton wants to win. He certainly has some good friends that would come in and participate in that kind of rehab. Coaches, players and trainers must feel like they are a part of Peyton’s success.
bring the rain Von!!!
Yr awesome dude! Cant wait for the game!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Von, and thanks for the commitment you have made to this team. You work your tail off man, and it definitely shows on game day. You may not know the truth about how important your impact is to the success of this team, but I can tell you that looking at it from the outside, from a fan perspective it’s huge.
Guys like you, Wolf & Trev, who have an extraordinarily High Level of energy/drive/desire are special things for us fans. Preciatecha man.
Sndvl and Wolfe… I completely got goosebumps when I read that article. He continues to surprise me at every turn. We are SO BLESSED!!!!
GAME DAY!!!!
I got my orange Von Miller jersey on
Lets do this thing.
All the Gameday crew over at NFL Networked picked the Broncos.
I stated my perdiction before but I’ll restate it 45-35 Broncos.
S.D. lost! HaHa!!!!!
Chargers lose, Raiders at KC. Perfect day for Broncos to take commanding lead in AFC West.
so awesome. A win against NO puts Denver in the lead of the division all alone.
Chargers losing is so funny. I cannot stop laughing!
LOL!! HAHA!!
