Von Miller was named the recipient of a national honor Tuesday celebrating his dedication to serving Denver’s community.
The Broncos linebacker will take home the 2019 Jefferson Award for Outstanding Public Service in Sports, an annual distinction in its 47th year given to a professional sports figure as chosen by the national nonprofit Multiplying Good. Miller will accept the honor during a ceremony on June 18 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., where former Broncos edge rusher DeMarcus Ware will introduce Miller.
Miller, the Broncos’ all-time sacks leader, founded Von’s Vision in 2012, which provides low-income children with vision care and eye exams.
