THE FUSE

In April 2024, one of the most feared pass rushers in football stood outside a processing plant in Texas, cut a ribbon and declared himself a chicken farmer. The facility was the first USDA-certified organic poultry processing plant in the state, and the man in the boots was Von Miller, a Super Bowl Most Valuable Player with 138.5 career sacks and a degree in poultry science he had actually used. The scene captured a truth most football fans never knew. The quarterback hunter had been planning his second act since college.
