Von Miller, the Denver Broncos’ All-Pro linebacker and the winner of the Most Valuable Player Award in Super Bowl 50, on Thursday became the latest and most prominent N.F.L. player to reveal publicly that he had tested positive for the coronavirus.
Miller was not feeling well in recent days, which prompted him to get tested for the virus, his agent, Joby Branion, said. Miller recently found out that he was infected, the agent said, and was resting at his home in Denver with what Branion characterized as mild symptoms.
Miller, 31, plans to issue a statement on Friday with more details, and to raise awareness about the virus, Branion added.
