Summit recap
2x Super Bowl Champion and Buffalo Bill's newest pass rusher, Von Miller, hosted his 6th Annual Von Miller Pash Rush Summit presented by VirtualStaX June 3-4th at the M Resort in Las Vegas, NV. The latest edition of the annual event comes off the All-Pro linebacker's Super Bowl LVI victory with the Los Angeles Rams and Miller's continued mission to collaborate with the league's best pass rushers, while also mentoring young and upcoming stars.
The summit provides a rare opportunity for both current, former, and future NFL defensive players to "link and learn" in one comfortable environment where they can share their skills, knowledge and technique with each other. Von was also joined by Chuck Smith (Chuck Smith Training Systems), NFL defensive legend DeMarcus Ware, and Diron Reynolds (Stanford University) who helped led the event.
