Steelers Re-Signing Special Teams Ace Miles Killebrew

[Steeler Nation]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the board! They’ve signed one of their own, but it isn’t the high profile move most are looking for, but it’s something. According to a report from Ian Rapoport the Steelers are brining back special teams ace Miles Killebrew on a 2 year deal worth 4 million.

A core special teamer and safety, some depth for PIT as it keeps its own guy. https://t.co/2lJEYRKeaI

Killebrew blocked two punts last season including one that was recovered for a touchdown in the Steelers upset victory over the Buffalo Bills on opening weekend. The second came as the Steelers raced back against the Chargers after falling behind by multiple touchdowns.

The Steelers used Killebrew on Defense in certain situations to help stop the run. He finished with 44 defensive snaps to go along with his special teams play.

I expected this a low cost resign.

Killebrew has a well-deserved reputation as a special teams ace. He is one of the best at rushing the punter and when he turns and runs to cover the punt, is a very reliable coverage guy with plus tackling skills.

Great value signing.

Good special teamer and probably could spot start if needed at safety. With Edmund likely gone we need the depth.

Solid player for us last year and one of the guys they needed to bring back. Good move.

 

[Fiji Mariner]

Solid move, typical Steeler maneuver to start the offseason.

Hopefully the first of many intelligent moves this off-season.

Good move and I'd bet it's very cap friendly.

GottA start somewhere and might as well start with a good signing.!
