Miles Killebrew Of Southern Utah Is Selected By The Lions With The #111 Overall Pick of the 2016 NFL Draft

One of the hardest hitters in college football, Southern Utah safety Miles Killebrew will be taking his talents to the NFL after getting selected #111 overall by the Detroit Lions.

Killebrew is an explosive player that had 22 reps on the bench press, a 38 inch vertical leap, and a 127 inch broad jump. He was the top performer at safety in all three of those events at the combine. Killebrew is a physical specimen and is able to transfer that explosion to the field.

With the size and strength he possesses, Killebrew makes tackles with bad intentions. He is a violent player that will make multiple massive hits over a season, but is also an excellent form tackler. He was able to dominate in a four year run that included over 130 tackles as a senior.

He has the rare ability to use his hands in an aggressive manner and play as an extra athletic linebacker in the secondary. He is a very versatile player that can makes plays in the box and in space. Killebrew may need a little time to acclimate to the NFL, but he can be a solid starter for years to come.

Congratulations to Miles Killebrew and the Southern Utah Thunderbirds on getting drafted into the NFL.
