Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sign Safety Miles Killebrew The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Miles Killebrew on Thursday, adding depth to their defensive and special teams units. Killebrew, who has spent the majority of his NFL career as a special teams specialist, brings a wealth of experience and physicality to the team. Over his 10 seasons in the league, he has appeared in 151 games, accumulating 91 total special teams tackles, which ranks second in the NFL since he entered the league in 2016. Killebrew’s time with the Steelers was marked by consistent performance and recognition. He earned consecutive Pro Bowl selections as a special teams player in 2023 and 2024, becoming the first player in Steelers history to achieve that feat. Additionally, he leads all active NFL players in career blocked punts with four. In 2023, Killebrew was named to the Associated Press First-Team All-Pro as a special teamer, underscoring his impact beyond his primary role. While his special teams contributions are notable, Killebrew has also made a mark on defense. Over his career, he has made five starts, recording 75 tackles (three for loss), six passes defended, two interceptions (including a touchdown), two quarterback hits, and one forced fumble. His ability to disrupt plays with forceful strikes and physicality in the box is expected to translate well to the Buccaneers’ defensive scheme. The Buccaneers’ decision to sign Killebrew reflects their focus on bolstering special teams, a unit that has been a strength for the team in recent seasons. His experience and versatility could provide a reliable presence in key moments, particularly in high-stakes situations. With his tough disposition and knack for making plays, Killebrew is poised to contribute immediately to Tampa Bay’s roster.#pittsburgh_steelers #tampa_bay_buccaneers #miles_killebrew #cade_otton #alex_anzalone
