March 26 is Denver Broncos linebacker and Super Bowl MVP Von Miller’s 27th birthday.
There’s a lot to love about the quirky Broncos star, from his A+ choices in eyewear to the fact that he’s currently being silky smooth on “Dancing with the Stars.” His full name is also Vonnie, a delightful fact we learned on Wikipedia.
Even though there are more than 9, here are 9 reasons why we love Von Miller:
His charity
His charity “Von’s Vision” provides low-income Denver kids with eyecare and corrective eyecare. So cool!
The mission of Von’s Vision is to better the vision of Denver-area youth by providing them needed eye examinations and...

His style never fails to impress
From stealing the show at the Grammy’s with a shiny suit (hello!) to wearing spiky shoes, Von Miller kills it with fashion. See the below Instagram posts as proof:

His mom has never missed a single one of his football games
After Von Miller led the Broncos to a Super Bowl 50 win, he pointed to his mom, who he says has never missed a single football game he has played in, from flag football to his career with the Denver Broncos.
He raises chickens
Von Miller majored in poultry science at Texas A&M … and actually uses his degree. He has a 3,000-square-foot chicken coop in his native Texas with some 40 to 50 chickens.
He also has a chicken tattoo:

Tom Brady is afraid of him
Von Miller sacked Tom Brady 2.5 times during the AFC Championship game. That’s a lot.
And it scared Tom Brady so much that he talked about it on Facebook roughly two months after it happened:
This bronco seems to like me more than Von Miller does...

He is the king of Snapchat (and everything else)
If you want a really, really in-depth look at being in the NFL, look no further than Von Miller’s Snapchat, where you can see everything from his fish tank to the Broncos locker room.
On Instagram, Von kills it with funny pictures of Peyton Manning (or “P-Money”):

Subtle digs at his former teammates:

Like Taylor Swift, he makes the year ‘1989’ special
When you think of the year 1989, you might think of the iconic Taylor Swift album of the same name (that’s also the year she was born).
Von Miller was born that same year. Coincidence? We think not.
Because after all, he’s Tom Brady’s nightmare dressed like a daydream.
His dancing is on-point
His foxtrot on “Dancing with the Stars” earned him decent reviews from the judges.
And his use of two-pumps during a celebration cost him $11,567 in fines.
We could say more about Von Miller’s dancing, but we’ll let these GIFs speak for themselves:
When he was at Texas A&M, he was an all-American and won an award for being the best linebacker in the country. The Broncos drafted him at No. 2 in 2011 – and five years later, he basically won Super Bowl 50 them (winning Super Bowl MVP in the process).
In conclusion, the lonely women of 9NEWS.com love you, Von.
