http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/miles-killebrew?id=2555315Strengths Tightly bundled muscle hammer with a compact frame and the thighs of a track sprinter. World-class form tackler with bad intentions behind his strikes. Patient and willing to wait until he's in proper range before exploding with everything he has into his victim. Confident around the line of scrimmage and uses aggressive hands to keep himself clean. Will not flinch in the face of contact and has the frame to be considered as a hybrid linebacker on the pro level. Relied upon to line secondary up and get defense situated.
Weaknesses Instincts are very average. Needs to see it first and then can be a step slow to respond. Doesn't anticipate run direction as well as he needs to. Lack of instincts hinders range in coverage. Has a tendency to eyeball quarterback and lose track of route development around him. Has a verified 4.43 time from the spring in the 40-yard dash, but play speed doesn't always match that. Could be limited to box duties.
NFL Comparison Deone Bucannon
Bottom Line Violent player who looks to punish and intimidate with the force of his strikes, but who won't compromise his form as a tackler just for the highlight reel hit. Killebrew is average in coverage, but has the size and physicality that makes him stand out in the box. With the success of Arizona's Deone Bucannon as a hybrid linebacker, it is reasonable to assume that a team will look to Killebrew to fill that role for its defense. If he blows up the combine, he won't get past the second day of the draft.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NFL_Draft/comments/3xj2g1/miles_killebrew_ss_southern_utah/Miles Killebrew is a strong safety who has been gathering a lot of hype lately and is a riser. Some even have him as a first round prospect. Some background information for those who don't know who he is, being close to 6'2", 225 lbs and has 4.45 speed. Daniel Jeremiah was one of the first to mention him, where Killebrew shows good physicality. He is a senior and is going to the Senior Bowl.
Jeremiah and Lance Zierlein wrote this on NFL.com about him:
The scoop: "He's a better football player than Shaq Thompson and Deone Bucannon were when they came out." -- Area scout on Southern Utah safety Miles Killebrew
The skinny: That is high praise -- Thompson and Bucannon both were first-round picks. However, we're not surprised to hear such talk about Killebrew, who has accepted an invitation to the Reese's Senior Bowl. He jumps off the tape and has a chance to be a name you'll hear a lot leading up to the draft. Killebrew has good size at a little under 6-2 and 230 pounds. He's been clocked at 4.45 in the 40. Everything we hear is that his character is impeccable.
