The most “exciting two minutes in sports” just got a little more exciting.
Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is currently going to be back at the Kentucky Derby again this Saturday, this time in a different capacity.
Last spring, Miller was at Churchill Downs as a spectator for the 144th running of this Kentucky Derby and was looking dapper in his coral, pink and light blue plaid suit that was topped off with a classic straw hat.
However, Miller will join NBC Sports derby coverage for a lifestyle correspondent.
Miller will be on hand to document the spectacle of Derby Day. From loud suits to hats, Miller is currently looking forward to covering the derby for NBC Sports.
“As a lover of the Kentucky Derby, I am thrilled to be part of NBC Sports’ coverage of this historic sporting event. I look forward to showcasing excitement, fashion and the excitement at Churchill Downs,” Miller said through news release.
For a guy who has a flair for fashion, it will be fun to see what Miller has up his sleeve for Derby Day at Churchill Downs.
The Kentucky Derby is always held on the first Saturday in May. This season ’s derby will be held on May 4, “Star Wars Day,” with a post time of 4:50 MT.
You can watch it unfold on NBC or NBCSN.
