Outside linebacker Von Miller has been one of the most recent signings of the Los Angeles Rams. He used to be a star back in his days with the Denver Broncos; however, he is no less of a star with the Rams. And although his first few matches turned out to be a flop with the Rams. The team now seems to be in perfectly good shape, with the most skillful squad in the league at an individual level. Von Miller spent eleven seasons with the Broncos. And his pairing with the legend Peyton Manning even produced the Super Bowl 50 during the 2015 season. Recently during an appearance on NFL Network’s Rich Eisen Show, Von Miller gave a shocking admission on his current Rams’ squad. VON MILLER ON THE LOS ANGELES RAMS “I’m comfortable. I’m comfortable in this team,” Miller said [https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-von-millers-shocking-admission-on-current-la-team/]. “We went to a Super Bowl in 2015 and this team has a lot of those similarities. To be honest, this team is probably more talented than that 2015 team. We’ve got Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald, Leonard Floyd, myself. The offensive line on this team is definitely more experienced and more seasoned and we’ve got a whole stable of running backs. We’ve got Cooper Kupp, the best wide receiver in the league.” Also Read: Antonio Brown on Losing Potential Hall of Fame Induction: ‘I’m Still Playing. I’m Still on a Mission. I’m Still Writing the Story’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-antonio-brown-on-losing-potential-hall-of-fame-induction-im-still-playing-im-still-on-a-mission-im-still-writing-the-story/] However, as far as Miller’s views are concerned, he is not far from the truth. In fact, he is very close to it. The in-form QB Matthew Stafford [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/matthew-stafford/] looks no less than the legendary Peyton Manning [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/peyton-manning/]. Even the remaining Rams look as lethal as a team could be. Be it wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/odell-beckham-jr/] or Cooper Kupp [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cooper-kupp/], they seem to slay every defense they face. Cooper, obviously leading the league in many aspects. Talking of defense, the trio of Aaron Donald [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/aaron-donald/], Von Miller [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/von-miller/], and Jalen Ramsey [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jalen-ramsey/] is no less than a wall cemented with exceptional skills and strength. And, of course, binding the full house is one of the best coaches in the league right now, Sean McVay himself. Together they are all taking the NFL by storm. Although at one point of the season they seemed to have a bleak approach, the NFL wasn’t aware of what was coming next. The Rams have already clinched the division and are now to face their divisional rivals, the San Francisco 49ers, for the season finale. However, it’s yet to be seen whether the 2021 Rams be able to achieve what the 2015 Broncos did.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Denver Broncos 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Denver Broncos entered the American Football League (AFL) and joined the NFL as part of a merger in 1970. The initial stint wasn’t smooth, to say the least, and the Broncos weren’t competitive during the 10-year run in the AFL. Their woes continued into the early days of the NFL as well. Chiefly, they did not have a winning season until 1973.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498446 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150519/broncos.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="900" />
<p style="text-align: center">Four years later, the Denver Broncos qualified for the playoffs for the first time in franchise history and advanced to Super Bowl XII. Their fortune turned for the better after 1975 and the club only suffered nine losing seasons. They scalped eight AFC Championships and three Super Bowl championships, the most recent being in 2015.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Their high hit-rate in Super Bowl appearance means they also share the NFL record for the most Super Bowl losses (tied with the New England Patriots-5).  Not to mention, their lofty success has produced several pro-bowl Hall of Famers and MVP candidates through their years of dominance at the top.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498440 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150316/cbs-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />
<p style="text-align: center">The 2020 season left plenty to be desired and the Denver Broncos were officially out of contention early on. They placed 4<sup>th</sup> in the AFC West rounding out a losing 5-11 overall record. The Broncos failed to improve on their 7-9 season from last year. What’s more, they suffered their fourth consecutive losing season.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The original logo depicted a football player riding a bronco horse, and this image stayed with the team for one year. The next logo that ran from 1962 to 1967 gave the earlier design a more fierce look. The football player was now standing on the back of an orange horse. Both the Bronco and the player looked more brutal.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498449 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150654/denny.png" alt="" width="1000" height="560" />
<p style="text-align: center">The following years removed the rider and a ‘D’ emblem was used which saw a bronco horse emerging vertically drawn in white with a black outline. From 1997 to modern-day, the Denver Broncos Logo has remained the now-iconic horse profile facing right. The bronco’s head in white features a dark outline and the main and eyes are orange colored.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Pat Bowlen was the majority owner of the Denver Broncos right up to his death in June 2019. The Bowlen family, including two of his brother, purchased the team from Edgar Kaiser back in 1984. Bowlen served as Broncos CEO until July 2014 where he stepped down from the position due to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-498455 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201231150945/patty.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />
<p style="text-align: center">After Bowlen acquired the team in 1984, the Broncos briefly held the highest winning percentage of any active franchise in the league. The metrics stood at 334 wins, 212 losses, and 1 tie, rounding out a 0.612 winning percentage passing the San Francisco 49’ers after the 2015 season. At the time of Bowlen’s death, the New England Patriots had surpassed that figure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">In August 2022 the Walmart heir Samuel Robson Walton took ownership of the Denver Broncos. He bought the franchise for a whopping $4.65 Billion, the most ever paid for a franchise in the history of all sports.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"> Denver Broncos 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Frequent franchise partners BetMGM and the Broncos agreed to a multi-year sports betting partnership that includes a premium lounge at Empower Field at Mile High. The Lounge will allow fans 21 years and older access to a full-service premium bar, a luxury lounge, and live odds with BetMGM’s mobile app.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, the Broncos also have a tie-up with Betfred USA Sports ahead of Betfred’s launching a Colorado presence. Not to mention, the club agreed to a multi-year deal with FanDeul Group for legalized sports betting and daily fantasy partnership. The partnership gives Fan Duel access to official Broncos marks and logos to use across FanDuel’s sports betting offerings in Colorado.</p>

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center"><strong>Aaron Donald 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Aaron Donald is a professional player in the NFL who plays for the Los Angeles Rams as a Defensive Tackle. He is currently one of the most dominating defensive prospects in the league and is regarded as one of the greatest defensive players of all time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">In his room of accolades shines three Defensive Player of the Year trophies which he won in 2017, 2018, and 2020 respectively. As of now, he is the reigning Super Bowl Champion with the Los Angeles Rams.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-929678 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/aaron-donald-1.jpg" alt="Aaron Donald" width="1860" height="1237" />
<p style="text-align: center">Donald was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the 2014 NFL Draft as the 13th overall pick. He is one of the two players on the team who used to be a part of the St. Louis roster once.</p>

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center"><strong>Aaron Donald Net Worth</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: center">According to <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nfl/aaron-donald-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, the net worth of the star Rams tackle is expected to be around $60 million. With a whopping average annual salary of at least <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/nfls-highest-paid-defensive-players" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$30 million</a>, Donald is currently the highest-paid defensive player on the turf.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">As a rookie, Aaron Donald signed a fully guaranteed $10.13 million for four years which included a $5.69 million signing bonus and a fifth-year option. The contract reaped every dime of it after Donald was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and was named in the NFL All-Rookie Team.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">In 2018, AD signed a six-year contract extension worth $135 million with $87 million guaranteed making him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, until Khalil Mack signed a $141 million deal with Chicago Bears.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Before the start of the 2022 season, the Rams re-negotiated his deal, which added $40 million to his original $135 million contract. The re-negotiation made him the first non-QB with an average annual salary of more than $30 million.</p>

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Aaron Donald Stats</h2>

At the MetLife Stadium, the Giants offered Odell Beckham Jr the No.13 jersey and slotted him into a starting role. In his first NFL season, OBJ immediately became famous for his spectacular catches, including a one-handed touchdown reception while falling backward in the clash against the Dallas Cowboys. His incredible season despite an injury led him to become the Offensive Rookie of the Year according to the Associated Press. His 2015 and 2016 seasons were equally as successful as the previous ones, making his name grow bigger in the league. Unfortunately, an ankle fracture kept him away from the game in 2017 after week 5. While he made a slight comeback in 2018, a quadriceps injury once again made him take an exit from the season.

Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports After 5 seasons with the New York Giants, Beckham Jr moved to the Cleveland Browns. The Browns had rather high expectations from the star, as he was getting paired with the rookie QB Baker Mayfield. However, the 2019 season brought major disappointment to the team as they ended with a record of 6-10. OBJ, unfortunately, once again fell prey to the injuries and this time it was the most feared NFL injury, an ACL tear that made him exit early from the season. The Cleveland Browns picked themselves up in a massive way in the 2020 season, despite Beckham Jr getting sidelined. He was placed on the injured reserve on October 27th, 2020, after a torn ACL ended his season. Beckham finished the 2020 season with 23 catches for 319 yards and 4 touchdowns plus 2 rushes for 73 yards and a rushing touchdown in the 7 games he played.

Expensive things owned by Odell Beckham Jr. Odell Beckham Jr. has had multiple properties to his name. After he was drafted to the New York Giants in 2014, he bought a three-story, 3529 sq ft house in the area of Hudson County. Along with a great outside view, the house also had an exceptional master suite connecting to a walk-in steam. However, with his shift to the Cleveland Browns, the WR was quick to give up his property. The property owned by OBJ in Cleveland was much larger and more expensive in comparison to his previous home. He bought the 13,800 sq ft spread house for $1.6 million, hosting 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. It also had a 3-car garage space along with a poor outside. Beckham Jr. specifically had a room dedicated to his clothes and other dressing items in this house. This was besides the movie theatre in the house, which also could be converted into a golf simulator, a game room, a gym, and an office. While he shifted to LA in 2021, the house was listed in 2022 for a price of $3.3 million. The current home of the football player is not publicly known. Ever since joining the Ravens, the WR hasn&#8217;t bought a permanent place to stay in the view of potentially getting traded after the one-year contract. Hence, no certainty surrounds his decision of living space yet.
