On April 11, 2016, Von Miller, the Broncos’ menacing pass-rusher who has made a career of razing quarterbacks, stood on a stage in Los Angeles dressed as Prince Charming. He had the tailcoat, buttoned up to his chin, the fitted white pants and the black leather boots that rose to his knees.
By his side was his Cinderella, professional dancer Witney Carson, who led them in a Viennese Waltz to “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes.”
Miller lived a fairytale, not just that spring day on Dancing With the Stars, but throughout much of last offseason as he jetted across the country on a media tour following Super Bowl 50 while his agents negotiated a new contract.
