After nothing but trash talk coming from the Denver Broncos all week, one player took a different route Wednesday.
Denver linebacker Von Miller tossed a compliment in the direction of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during a press conference.

That’s heavy praise from a teammate of players who said Brady was a whiner and a crybaby earlier in the week. Miller also knows that no matter what he or any other teammates say, it won’t be easy getting to Brady in the pocket before passes are released.

Of course, Miller’s comments could just be a facade for some other ploy he’s getting at. Apparently the Broncos are doing a lot of that lately.
