Player: Miles Killebrew
Position: Safety
Experience: 6 Years
Free Agent Status: Unrestricted
2021 Salary Cap Hit: $1,127,500
2021 Season Breakdown:
After losing a core special teams safety in Jordan Dangerfield following the 2020 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers front office looked to upgrade that spot, and they came away with Miles Killebrew, a hybrid safety/linebacker who worked exclusively at safety—when he worked at defense at all—in Pittsburgh.
Signed to a one-year, veteran-minimum qualifying contract, the sixth-year veteran certainly earned his keep, logging 335 snaps on special teams (as well as 44 snaps on defense).
