After Von Miller signed with the Cowboys on Sunday night, he said it feels like a homecoming. Miller, who was born and raised in the Dallas suburb of DeSoto, Texas, said on the Nightcap Show that he had been talking to the Cowboys in the offseason and always wanted to play with the star on his helmet. “They were the first team to contact me, like a week before training camp,” Miller said. “It just seemed right. I live here during the offseason, my mom and dad are here, my kids are here. I’ve always had sadness in my heart since I was a little kid, I always paid attention to the Dallas Cowboys. My first memory of football includes the Dallas Cowboys. I heard my dad yelling in the back and I ran over there to see what was going on, and he was yelling because the Dallas Cowboys had scored a touchdown. That’s my first memory of football, and being back home, It is a dream within a dream.” Miller, who led the Commanders with nine sacks last season, said he hopes to have that type of production this season as well. “I can still come up with 8 to 10 sacks now. That’s just getting in,” Miller said. “I’m going to have opportunities to do it.” Miller said he has no doubt he will fit well in the Cowboys’ locker room. “I’m the best teammate in the history of the National Football League. When it comes to being a great teammate, I just know how to do it,” Miller said. “Every team I’ve been on, there’s not a single guy in that locker room that would say anything bad about me.” Miller, who has played for the Broncos, Rams, Bills and Commanders, is more motivated than ever heading into his fifth NFL team. “It hasn’t really hit me yet,” Miller said. “I’m excited to be here, I’m excited to get started.”
