Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller was seen sporting some solid facial hair during his team's showdown with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. His mustache did not go unnoticed by former NFL defensive end Chris Long.
Long took to social media to let out a series of tweets regarding his admiration for Miller's mustache, via Twitter.
Von Miller’s stache is so blue collar

Von suited up in 1979 w huge pads on AstroTurf somewhere just wrecking people w steam coming out of his helmet isn’t that far fetched w a stache like that

It is safe to say that Long has plenty of respect for Miller's quality mustache. Facial hair often goes unnoticed with all the player's faces hidden by their helmets. Regardless, Long wanted to ensure Miler that he is making quite the statement.
The Broncos' star is simply hoping that his play looks as good as his mustache. Denver ushered in some significant changes this offseason and early projections have them enduring their fair share of struggles in the 2019 NFL season.
Regardless, this has not hindered Miller's expectations going into the regular season. In fact, it only appears to have added further motivation for him to enjoy a career-year. He has not been shy about expressing his lofty goals and is confident that the arrival of head coach Vic Fangio will help him take his play to the next level.
Miller will undoubtedly serve as a stabilizing factor for this Broncos team as they look to find their footing early on. Even if the 2019 campaign does fall short of expectations for him, he can at least take solace in the fact that he will still have a praiseworthy mustache at the end of the day.
