Von Miller compares life in spotlight to being like Spiderman

Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY Sports

How does Denver Broncos star Von Miller handle the spotlight? Speaking at a forum with Roger Goodell, he compared his life to that of “Spiderman,” using a famous quote from the movie to drive his point home.

Miller added that as part of the job, who he is on the field has to be who he is off of it.

It’s certainly hard to argue that point. Miller is in a career that has him in the spotlight a lot, regardless of whether he’s on the field. Anyone in that kind of career certainly has the added pressure of being on their best behavior at all times, knowing pretty much any mistakes will become public.

Ezekiel Elliott would be smart to adhere to this policy, as would so many other young athletes. It may not be entirely fair all of the time. But it is reality.
