Von Miller is something special. In the mist of celebrating, he stopped for one second to send Johnny Manziel a touching message.
It’s only fair to think about celebrating your victories, especially when one wins a Super Bowl. However, Super Bowl 50’s MVP is cut from a different thread. Von Miller had a few of his own struggles and has been able to beat them.
“I’ve definitely had my struggles and it was because of my teammates, my family, Mr. (John) Elway … (it’s) all these guys that never really quit on me and kept believing in me that got me to this moment where I am today,” Miller said. “I say that to say, if you’re having a hard time right now, just keep pushing. The media wasn’t always my friend, but today they’re my friend now.”
He had one person in mind, Johnny Manziel.
“The message is for Johnny,” Miller said. “I want to see you do good. My heart goes out to you buddy. Come on, let’s get it right, Gig Em. The sky is the limit. When you get back, the sky is the limit.”
In addition, Von Miller took a moment to reach out to Johnny Manziel via his Instagram page. We hope it got to Manziel.

We can tell that Manziel is seeing all these messages that he is getting because he responded to Miller’s message via his own Instagram.
