The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers' safety Miles Killebrew on Thursday. Killebrew has appeared in 151 career games over 10 seasons with the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers, serving primarily as a special teams specialist, accumulating 91 total special teams tackles. Since entering the league in 2016, his 91 special teams tackles are the second-most in the NFL over that span.
During his tenure with the Steelers, Killebrew earned consecutive Pro Bowl trips as a special teamer from 2023-24 and leads all active players in career blocked punts (four). Killebrew is a member of the 2023 Associated Press First-Team All-Pro as a special teamer. In addition to his prowess on special teams, Killebrew made five starts on defense, contributing 75 tackles (three for loss), six passes defended, two interceptions (one touchdown), two quarterback hits and one forced fumble. With forceful strikes and physicality that stands out in the box, Killebrew will bring his tough disposition to Tampa Bay.
