Miller addressed the Commanders media on Thursday and opened up about why he chose to sign with Washington. For him, it's hard to find a compelling destination after playing with a star like Josh Allen, but the Commanders fit the bill for him.

"Let me rush, that's what I do," Miller said Thursday. "I can still roll out of bed at 36 years old with my shoes on and rush the passer. I can do that right when I wake up fresh out of sleep. I love rushing the passer."

The Washington Commanders needed a pass-rusher, so they turned their attention to a future Hall of Famer despite some questioning whether he is still able to be a significant contributor.
