Von Miller imagines 'magical moments' with Keenum on Broncos

After Von Miller openly recruited Kirk Cousins to join the Denver Broncos this offseason, it appears the star pass-rusher has moved on and is excited about new pivot Case Keenum.

Cousins would eventually sign with the Minnesota Vikings, while the Broncos opted to bring in that club's former quarterback fresh off a career-best season. It's safe to say early returns from the new pivot have Miller impressed.

"He's a great leader. You can just tell by having a conversation with guys," Miller said on Tuesday, as per Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. "I imagine many magical moments, holding hands."

Keenum helped lead the Vikings to an 11-3 mark in 14 starts last season before falling in the NFC Championship Game. He's an upgrade at the position for the Broncos, who have missed the playoffs the last two seasons following Peyton Manning's retirement.

As for the No. 5 overall pick that the Broncos hold in this year's draft, Miller said he would be cool with whoever the team picked but did toss quite the compliment in the direction of NC State pass-rusher Bradley Chubb.
