Round Four (111 overall) – Miles Killebrew, SS, Southern Utah
I think this a guy Lions fans can really fall in love with.
Killebrew is an extremely physical defender who was a very productive four-year starter for Southern Utah outputting consecutive 100-tackle seasons in his junior and senior seasons. He’s also well-built for a strong safety and could sometimes fill in at linebacker during nickel packages.
Killebrew’s strengths though could lead to some of his weaknesses.
He gets tunnel vision on the field and locks too much into his target which will either allow too much to happen around him or enable the offense to gain extra yardage given Killebrew waiting on the ball carrier to come to him.
Grade: B+
