NFL Trade Rumors
Buccaneers S Miles Killebrew signed on with Tampa Bay as a free agent this offseason following his time with the Steelers. Killebrew said that ST coordinator Danny Smith, who also came from Pittsburgh, was a “giant factor” in his decision to join the team.
“I would say a giant factor,” Killebrew said, via Gabriel Kahaian of the team’s site. “He was my coach for a number of years in Pittsburgh. We have a pretty strong relationship. I know what he expects out there on the field and so when he made the move down here, I saw in my forecast sunny skies.”
Killebrew said that he takes special teams “very seriously,” and there’s no question that he will contribute to the unit.
“I take it very seriously,” Killebrew said. “I know how my bread is buttered. I am not here to be the franchise quarterback. I am here to play special teams, no doubt. I know the language that they speak, I can reiterate it. Danny is really big on multiple voices, same message. I know what he is looking for.”
Killebrew called special teams the “purest form of the game.”
“In my opinion, I think it [special teams] is the purest form of the game,” Killebrew said. “I think a punt is the best play in the game. I think it’s critical… I know that games can be won or lost on the back of special teams, so I want to do everything I can in my power to benefit this awesome organization and get some wins.”
