ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- When the Detroit Lions drafted Miles Killebrew in May, they knew they were getting a safety who could eventually turn into a productive run stopper given his reputation as a devastatingly hard hitter.
When that would come, though, was a bit of a question. Killebrew was making the transition from a small school and had not shown much in pass coverage, which would theoretically make him a liability on the field. In training camp, though, he started to flash more.
