Washington Commanders Linebacker von Miller is one of the best pass-rushers of his generation and has played against some of the best quarterbacks in NFL history.

“There will be a debate between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, the best you know, for me it will always be Peyton Manning,” Miller said at “Glory Daze with Johnny Manziel” podcast. “Peyton Manning, he changed the quarterback position from checking … he changed the game. Come on. Check the game. Change the game again. Go over the top. He shrinked and did it and sow. He did it all with his arm and it was beautiful, man.
“And Tom Brady, of course, seven Super Bowls over the years. I’ve also got to know Tom Brady a little. And you know you also mess to Tom Brady. Both of these guys are the big ones, certainly.”
Manning vs. The Brady debate will rage in the coming years.
