Napa, Calif. — Miles Killebrew's career is at an early crossroads.
At one point, in the not-so-distant past, Killebrew appeared to be a rising star on the cusp of being a breakout performer for the Detroit Lions. Now, after some glaring struggles throughout the early stages of the offseason program and training camp, the Lions are tinkering with a potential position change for Killebrew, from safety to linebacker.
After working Killebrew with the linebackers during individual drills the past two days, Lions coach Matt Patricia downplayed the significance of the alteration to the practice routine.
