The Buffalo Bills got scarier this off-season when they signed edge rusher Von Miller, who is fresh off a Super Bowl victory with the Los Angeles Rams.

Miller entered free agency for the first time in his career and contemplated a return to either Denver or LA. Ultimately, he chose to sign with Buffalo.

The day before he signed, Von Miller called Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and expressed how he was a fan of his. Miller posted the video to his YouTube channel.
