Zamst, a leader in high-performance sports bracing and support equipment, announced a worldwide endorsement deal with professional football defensive linebacker Von Miller. Unique at 6’3” and 235 pounds, Miller possesses a rare combination of speed and strength–key characteristics of the Zamst brand identity.

Prior to being drafted by Denver with the second overall pick in the 2011 pro football draft, Miller turned heads at the pre-draft combine recording an 11.15 second 60-yard shuttle shattering the previous record for linebackers. He also finished in the top-three of several other tests including the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and broad jump. Miller was able to use these strengths to record 11.5 sacks as a rookie last season while earning several all-league accolades, including top defensive rookie honors.

“As an athlete and person, Von is a terrific ambassador of the Zamst brand,“ said Bryan Smeltzer, general manager of Zamst U.S. “Von’s unique combination of power and speed provides a great platform for Zamst to showcase our premium bracing and supports product line. Our Precision Engineered Support products protect and reinforce the elite athletes of the world, and we are proud to have Von on our team.”

Zamst is a premier bracing and support company that has been providing elite athletes across the world with prevention and injury solutions since 1992. With a heritage in the medical field, the company has created its product line through a rigorous development process, which includes in-depth consultation with doctors, trainers and elite athletes to ensure high performance functionality.

“As a professional athlete, taking care of my body is a top priority,” said Miller. “The unique line of Zamst products allows me to continue performing at high level through all the aches and pains of the season. I consistently use products during practice to help keep me healthy and ready for game day.”

Halfway through the 2012-13 pro football season, Miller leads the league in tackles for loss with 21 and has already recorded 10 sacks in just 9 games. Over the course of his young career, he has tallied a total of 21.5 sacks in 24 games.

As part of the endorsement deal, Miller will be utilized internationally for in-store, print and online marketing
activities for Zamst.
