“I saw this on posted Von’s instagram like 10 minutes ago and I was so shook,” HeavenlyHarpoon commented on Reddit. “This is an April Fools Prank, right?”

“I know Von Miller’s Instagram post was an April Fool’s joke, but my stomach dropped nonetheless,” Hayley Hudson wrote on Twitter.

Some fans remembered the same prank from last year.

“Von Miller been doing the same corny April Fools IG post for years lol,” Brody Aufderheide said on Twitter.

We can probably count on Miller posting the same thing again in 2021.
