As the NFL offseason heats up and teams finalize their rosters, the Denver Broncos appear to have a solid squad in place. But when you have a star like edge rusher Nik Bonitto on your side, it’s worth listening to his thoughts on how to elevate the defense even further.
Bonitto, who knows a thing or two about pressuring quarterbacks, recently made a heartfelt pitch for a familiar face to return to Mile High: three-time All-Pro Von Miller. “Obviously, everybody would love that,” Bonitto told Zac Stevens of DNVR. “Not only the fans but the players. He’s a guy that’s loved here in Denver so much. My personal favorite player ever to watch. Just being able to share a room with him would be amazing.”
Miller hasn’t worn a Broncos uniform since 2021, but his recent performance with the Washington Commanders—where he posted 9.0 sacks last season—proves he’s still got plenty left in the tank. At 36 years old, that kind of production is no small feat. And in Denver, he wouldn’t need to be the star of the show. Instead, he could slide into a key rotational role, adding depth and veteran savvy to an already formidable defense.
Imagine having a player of Miller’s caliber as a depth piece. It’s the kind of move that turns a good defense into a great one. While it’s unclear if the Broncos will pull the trigger on a reunion, Bonitto has made his feelings crystal clear. For fans and players alike, the idea of seeing No. 58 back in orange and blue is nothing short of thrilling.
