Steelers All-Pro Signs With NFC South Team Miles Killebrew, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ special teams standout, has agreed to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The move marks a significant shift for Killebrew, who spent four seasons with the Steelers, contributing to their special teams unit with consistency and excellence. Killebrew’s departure comes as the Buccaneers bolster their special teams coaching staff, welcoming former Steelers special teams coach Danny Smith, who will now serve in the same role for Tampa Bay. Killebrew joined the Steelers in 2021 and became a key player for the team, appearing in every game from 2021 through 2024. His performance earned him two Pro Bowl selections in 2023 and 2024, and he was named First-Team All-Pro as a special teams contributor in 2024. Despite his success, Killebrew’s 2024 season was cut short when he suffered a season-ending injury during an early-game matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The injury occurred on a field that was in poor condition, a factor that likely influenced the Steelers’ decision to move forward without him. The Steelers’ decision to let Killebrew go appears to have been influenced by the performance of Ben Skowronek, the team’s special teams coordinator. Skowronek earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2025 for his work on special teams, which likely made the Steelers more confident in their existing personnel. This confidence, combined with the need to explore new opportunities for Killebrew, led to his departure. Killebrew’s move to the Buccaneers is part of a broader free agency landscape for the NFL, where teams are actively seeking talent to address specific needs.#pittsburgh_steelers #tampa_bay_buccaneers #miles_killebrew #danny_smith #ben_skowronek
