Cowboys glad to welcome Von Miller’s production and leadership to inexperience group of edge rushers

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Von Miller, the NFL's active sack leader with 138 1/2 in 203 games over 14 seasons, will join the Dallas Cowboys as the team looks to bolster their inexperienced group of edge rushers. The 37-year-old, who has Super Bowl MVP and champion titles to his name, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the young squad.

Outside linebacker Donovan Ezeiruaku, who first met Miller during the draft, expressed excitement about the veteran's mentorship potential. "He said he wanted to be the D-Ware for me to me, if that makes sense," Ezeiruaku said, noting Miller's potential to guide younger players. Ezeiruaku, who recorded two sacks and nine tackles for loss as a rookie, is just one of several Cowboys players who could benefit from Miller's presence.

Coach Brian Schottenheimer expects Miller to primarily rush the quarterback, utilizing his first-step quickness and understanding of angles. "He still got first-step quickness. He still understand angles," Schottenheimer stated. Miller's deep connection to Dallas, having grown up in the suburbs and worked out at the team's complex, was evident before the deal was finalized.
