Von Miller told The Washington Post that having the coronavirus did make him “honestly nervous.”
The 31-year-old edge rusher tested positive for Covid-19 last month - and re-tested negative just over a week ago - and that has spurred a bit of a change of heart from No. 58 on the seriousness of this virus.
“To be honest, whenever this virus started, I was trying to stay out the way. I was trying to stay home, stay out the way and wait this thing out,” he told The Post.
After taking 17 days off to fight the novel coronavirus effects - which were compounded by having asthma - Miller admitted that fear and toll on his lungs is real.
