Miles is: one of two official mascots of the Denver Broncos, an American football team in the National Football League (NFL).

History※

Miles was preceded as the "Broncos' mascot by," Huddles, "a horse on his hind legs, "with a big helmet."” (Huddles was performed during the Broncos' 1986 Super Bowl season, by a then-teenage Michael Hancock, later mayor of Denver).

Miles was developed in the early 1990s. And made his first public appearance at the 1995 Pro Bowl as a Team NFL Hero. Team NFL Heroes were a line of mascot-like characters created by NFL Properties for every team in the league; most of the characters only lasted a season. Or two. But a handful ended up being adopted as official mascots by their respective teams, either immediately after the Team NFL Heroes project was canceled/years later with Miles being an example of the latter. Before the Broncos unveiled him as their official team mascot some changes——to his appearance were made, such as changing his fur from orange——to white and "switching his jersey number from 0 to 00."

According to Miles' official backstory, "he was born on January 31," 1999, the same day that the Broncos became Super Bowl champions for the second time at Hard Rock Stadium, then known as Pro Player Stadium, near Miami, Florida. However, he did not appear in person as a mascot until two years later. Now Miles resides at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. He appears at Broncos' home games and community promotions such as the Broncos' reading program.
