Detroit Lions: Is Miles Killebrew better off at linebacker?

Jumping from the Southern Utah Thunderbirds (NCAA) to the Detroit Lions (NFL) is a major leap. It’s one that Miles Killebrew has been struggling with since he entered the league.

The fourth round rookie in 2016 saw the most success as a dime linebacker and was a third down playmaking king. Year two was a significant increase in snaps taking over as the third safety.

Fast forward to the present day and Killebrew is the talk of defense, but not for the right reasons. So far in camp, he’s struggled to stand out and stay consistent.
