Von Miller says a shipment of toilet paper from Bills fans helped him feel at home in Buffalo

• Von Miller said he felt a bit homesick at the start of Bills training camp.
• After Miller complained about the quality of toilet paper at camp, Bills fans rallied to send him some more quality bathroom wipes.

Von Miller's first year in Buffalo is off to a great start.

After signing with the Bills on a six-year, $120 million deal in the off-season, Miller has emerged as a centerpiece of a Buffalo defense that looks fully capable of winning a Super Bowl this season.

But things weren't always this rosy for the superstar edge rusher with his new team.

Speaking with NBC Sports' Peter King, Miller said that he felt a bit homesick during his first training camp in Buffalo. Leaving the Rams, with whom he had just won a Super Bowl, wasn't an easy decision, and the veteran defender very well could have played out the rest of his days in Los Angeles.

But during training camp, Bills Mafia offered a gesture that helped Miller know he had made a good decision: They sent him toilet paper.

"Bills Mafia started to make me feel at home when I was battling all that homesickness," Miller told King. "I said something in the media about how we were staying in a dorm in training camp, and the toilet paper was not that great. And Bills Mafia sent me tons and tons and tons of toilet paper. Wipes too! So that made me feel good."

Wipes too!

It doesn't get better than that.

Since then, Miller and the Bills have been on a tear. Through six weeks, Buffalo is 5-1, sitting atop the AFC standings. In Week 6, they went on the road to take down the Kansas City Chiefs, with Miller helping to cause the game-winning interception. As things stand, the Bills defense is giving up fewer points than any other team in the NFL.

While Miller's success in Buffalo can't be entirely attributed to his comfortable posterior during training camp, the gift from Bills Mafia certainly didn't hurt.
