Broncos' Von Miller defends shark hunting trip, says he followed rules

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Von Miller says he didn't do anything wrong when on a recent shark fishing excursion in Florida that's drawn the interest of conservation officials.

The Denver Broncos star said he's an avid hunter and fisherman who always follows the rules.

"I was shocked" to catch a hammerhead shark in the first place, Miller said Tuesday in his first public comments about the excursion. Miller later released his catch back into the water.

"I went fishing. Everybody knows that I hunt and fish. It's what I do. But I also believe in conservation.
