When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran safety Miles Killebrew as a free agent in March of 2021, it was expected that the Steelers were getting a special teams ace, one that would solidify a shaky portion of the roster overall.
So far, he’s done just that. The Steelers might just have defensive coordinator Teryl Austin to thank for that acquisition — sort of.
Austin, who spoke to the media Tuesday following practice at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, stated that he “wanted Miles here” in Pittsburgh due to the past relationship they had.
