Traditionally, veteran stars don't attend the NFL combine. However, one Buffalo Bills defensive All Pro was turning heads in late February, as he was getting a lay-of-the-land at the draft-pick showcase for college players. Von Miller was in Indianapolis, not looking for a job but getting some background on a future one. Miller is interested in becoming an NFL general manager, when he is done sacking quarterbacks. After hearing about Von Miller's interest in becoming a GM, Bills general manager Brandon Beane suggested to Miller that he should attend the combine.

According to a cool article by Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, Miller got help from his agent Joby Branion and Beane and set up a basic to-do list. From there, the Buffalo Bills edge-rusher spent two days picking-the-brains of NFL front-office personnel, taking notes and learning the ropes.

Von Miller knows and respects the hard work it takes to work in an NFL front office. The 34-year-old wants to put the work in so his efforts are respected. Miller told ESPN.com "To take the next step, I want the people around me to know, like, OK, nothing was given to me. I worked. I evaluated these players, spent time with coaching, scouting department, spent time with the pro personnel guys. I want to be in that position where I know my s---." Stuff. I'm sure he said stuff. Either way, just like on the football field, Von Miller is preparing to be the best there at his position.
