Miller Says Signing With the Cowboys Is a ‘Dream Within a Dream’
During his recent appearance on the Nightcap Show, Miller spoke about signing with the Dallas Cowboys.
“They were the first team to contact me, like a week before training camp,” he explained. “It just seemed right to me. I live here in the offseason. My mom and dad are here. My kids are here.”
The NFL star also spoke about what it means to be on the Cowboys.
“I’ve always had blue in my heart since I was a little boy,” he said. “I always paid attention to the Dallas Cowboys. My earliest memory of football includes the Dallas Cowboys.”
“I heard my daddy screaming in the back, and I ran back there to see what was going on,” Miller recalled. “And he was screaming because the Dallas Cowboys had scored a touchdown. That’s my earliest memory of football, and to be back home, it’s a dream within a dream.”
Miller also referred to himself as the best teammate in NFL history. “When it comes to being a great teammate, I just know how to do it,” he added. “Every team that I’ve been on, there’s not a guy in that locker room who would say anything bad about me.”
