Denver Broncos defensive star Von Miller holds an annual pass rushing summit, with 2019's event taking place on Saturday at UNLV in Las Vegas, Nevada. Several of the game's premier pass rushers, like Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams and Calais Campbell of the Jacksonville Jaguars, were on hand to share tips and learn from each other.

Also in attendance was San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Arik Armstead, who is entering his fifth season with the team which made him the No. 17 overall pick in 2015.


Other attendees included Kansas City Chiefs defensive ends Frank Clark and Alex Okafor, New Orleans Saints defensive ends Cameron Jordan and Marcus Davenport, and Broncos outside linebacker Bradley Chubb. Former NFL edge rusher DeMarcus Ware and former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie served as guest coaches. Flutie offered his expertise on pass rushing from the offensive side of the ball.

It's a place where we can link and learn," Miller told attendees via Broncos Wire. "It's not a teaching clinic, where I get up here and teach. I just show you what makes me good, and likewise, you show me what makes you guys great — what made DeMarcus great — and if we can apply that to our game, we do. If we can't, we can't. But I'm positive that — we've got all these guys here in one spot — we'll be able to learn something."

As for Armstead, the 49ers made him the No. 17 overall selection in 2015. He registered 48 combined tackles and a career-high three sacks through 16 starts with the 49ers in 2018. Armstead has recorded 98 combined tackles, nine sacks, a pass defensed, and a forced fumble through four NFL seasons.

This isn't the first time Armstead has attended Miller's pass rushing summit. He did so in 2017 with defensive lineman Solomon Thomas.
