Von Miller was named the MVP of Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, but there's more to him than just his defensive game.
The former No. 2-overall pick finished with five tackles, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in the Broncos' 24-10 victory over the Panthers. His second strip-sack of Cam Newton in the fourth quarter set Denver up for the game's final score.
Below are five quick facts about him.
Future Chicken Farmer
The only thing Miller loves more than football is poultry. He bought 38 chickens to raise on his eight-acre property near Dallas in 2013.
"I really wanted to get to the fundamentals, getting back to raising chicks," he said, per USA Today. "I raised chicks in college in class and stuff. Now it's a project for me to do it on my own, and see where I go with it.
"I'm pretty excited about it."

Suspension
