Even in the modern NFL era, special teams remain an undervalued part of the game. Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick often referred to offense, defense, and special teams as equal thirds, viewing each as important as the others.
If this mantra is true, it’s fortunate for the Steelers that they have a special teamer as good as Miles Killebrew. He’s been a reliable special teamer since the Steelers signed him in 2021, and he earned All-Pro honors for the first time last season.
Killebrew does it all on special teams, and where his value is felt the most is through blocked punts.
