Up front, Washington added Miller and Jacob Martin as pass rushers but also loaded up with big bodies in Javon Kinlaw, Eddie Goldman and Deatrich Wise Jr. in an effort to help fix a unit that ranked 30th in rushing yards allowed.

Miller addressed the Commanders media on Thursday and opened up about why he chose to sign with Washington. For him, it's hard to find a compelling destination after playing with a star like Josh Allen, but the Commanders fit the bill for him.

Commanders are making a lot happen defensively as training camp kicks off, and two of their best playmakers are embracing their roles.

"Let me rush, that's what I do," Miller said Thursday. "I can still roll out of bed at 36 years old with my shoes on and rush the passer. I can do that right when I wake up fresh out of sleep. I love rushing the passer."

ASHBURN, Va. — Nobody in the game right now has more quarterback sacks than him. Von Miller has no doubt there’s more in the tank. “I can still roll out the bed at 36 years old with my couch shoes on and still rush the passer," he said at his first media appearance as a member of the Washington Commanders.

The Washington Commanders needed a pass-rusher, so they turned their attention to a future Hall of Famer despite some questioning whether he is still able to be a significant contributor.

Von Miller's four years with Peyton Manning brought two Super Bowl berths and a championship; the Broncos secured four straight

Miller (6-3, 250 pounds) started his career in Denver and set a franchise record with 110.5 sacks in 142 games. He was a star of the team's famous "No Fly Zone" defense from the 2015 season, taking home Super Bowl MVP honors after the team defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50.
