Broncos linebacker Von Miller may have just pulled off the best Christmas present in NFL history, giving the entire AFC West custom bottles of wine.
Miller gave every player on the 54-man roster, practice squad and injured reserve in the division a bottle of wine labeled with his signature orange glasses and a thank you note, according to The Denver Post.

Miller, who had a pivotal performance in the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 victory and leads the NFL with 12.5 sacks in 2016, certainly has a lot of good fortune to be thankful for this holiday season. Aside from his dominant play, the gesture and Miller’s message shows that his class act transcends football.
The holiday festivities in the AFC West don’t stop with Miller’s early gift. Just two games out of first place in the division, the Broncos (7-4) have two pivotal holiday matchups on Christmas Day with the Kansas City Chiefs (8-3) and New Year’s Day with the Oakland Raiders (9-2).
So the Raiders and Chiefs – who are first and second in the AFC West respectively – can’t get too cozy drinking Miller’s gift if they want to retain their spots atop the division.
