Selected in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, 111th overall, Southern Utah safety Miles Killebrew was chosen by the Detroit Lions. The four-year starter who recorded a whopping 233 tackles in his final two seasons in college figured to add a physical presence to the Lions’ secondary.
Last season, Killebrew posted the second most snaps on special teams with 304. Despite playing just below 15% of the team’s total defensive snaps, the rookie showed flashes with some big hits and critical third down stops. Killebrew recorded 28 tackles and one interception in 16 games in 2016.
