LAS VEGAS – New Buffalo Bill and pass rush specialist Von Miller hosted his 6th Annual Von Miller Pash Rush Summit presented by VirtualStaX June 3-4 at the M Resort Spa Casino over the weekend. The latest edition of the annual symposium comes off the NFL All-Pro linebacker’s victory in Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams and continues his ongoing mission to share key techniques among the league’s pass rushers while simultaneously fostering a sense of brotherhood.
The summit provides a rare opportunity for both current and former NFL defensive players to unite in one comfortable environment where they can share their skills, knowledge and special techniques with each other. He was also joined by Chuck Smith (Chuck Smith Training Systems), NFL defensive legend DeMarcus Ware, and Diron Reynolds (Stanford University) who together led the event.
“It’s not the Von Miller coaching clinic. I’m learning stuff from all the guys too. This is a way for me to give back to the game that has given so much to me,” says Von Miller, 2x Super Bowl Champion and founder of the Von Miller Pash Rush Summit.
The Von Miller Pash Rush Summit has brought out the stars for over half a decade. The 2022 summit was no different, featuring over 20 NFL defensive stars who descended on Las Vegas for the weekend event. Attendees included players such as Cam Jordan (Saints), Justin Houston (Ravens), George Karlaftis (Chiefs), Calais Campbell (Ravens), Dee Ford (49ers), Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones (Raiders), and Miller’s new Bills teammates Boogie Basham, AJ Epenesa, and Greg Rousseau. In addition, over 500 other players and coaches attended the live virtual film session. The summit was much more than just a skills clinic: prior to and following on-field training and film sessions, attendees were able to relax and bond during a post-event reception at Lux rooftop and Vue patio at M Resort.
“Von’s passion for ‘linking and learning’, legacy building, and mentoring rising talent through his annual Pass Rush Summit, resonated deeply with our mission. We were excited to support the Summit and embrace Von as a member of the VirtualStaX family.”- Rudolf Markgraaff Founder, CEO of VirtualStaX.
“What I love about VirtualStaX is how it creates opportunities to share experiences and build legacies. VirtualStax is an engagement platform that will level the playing field and by doing so it will transform people’s lives!” – Von Miller
