For his part, Miller can help Washington's other pass rushers, though his skill set is different than theirs. Miller started a pass rush summit in 2017 -- now named the Sack Summit -- to bring together defensive linemen and help them get after the passer better.

The Washington Commanders signed 36-year-old Von Miller. He's not slowing down, posting the NFL's fastest get-off time last season and a top-5 pressure rate.

Joe Gibbs' great teams, at various times, also signed veteran pass rushers to supplement their younger rushers. Perhaps Commanders/Redskins fans will recall such players who fit this role, such as Jumpy Geathers, Tony McGee, Bruce Smith, Coy Bacon, Jimmie Jones, Renaldo Wynn, and Jason Buck.
