Joining Dreyer in her coverage this year as lifestyle correspondent is NFL star — andDancing with the Starsalum — Von Miller, an addition to the team that Dreyer jokes will make certain people in her life very jealous.

“My brother and his wife are huge Broncos fans, so it’s fun to rub it in their faces!” she tells PEOPLE. “We’re going to talk fashion, we’re going to play games, we’re going to have live look-ins at different parties across the country and I just think we’re going to have so much fun.”

Miller, the Super Bowl 50 MVP, tells PEOPLE he’s “very excited” to be part of the NBC Sports team.
