What a big difference a year can make.

Last year, when safety Miles Killebrew stepped on the field in Allen Park as a rookie from small-school Southern Utah for his first OTA practices, his head was whirling.

“Way more comfortable out there, man,” Killebrew said after Wednesday’s OTA practice with a year under his belt. “I was just joking with Tavon that it feels like I can get better at specific things now and not everything at once. It’s not everything I have to get better at.”

Wednesday, during the team’s second OTA practice of the spring, and the first one open to the media, Killebrew looked nothing like a player still trying to find his place.
