Miles Killebrew is one of the NFL’s best special teamers. A captain and staple of that Pittsburgh Steelers’ unit for several seasons, he blocks punts like no one else and his multi-phase value has kept him on 53-man rosters throughout his long NFL career. Often thankless work, Killebrew was finally recognized in 2023. Named to the Pro Bowl and first-time All-Pro, it’s a crowning individual achievement for anyone. That was news to Killebrew, who didn’t even know he was eligible to win.
“I also thought that was a joke,” Killebrew said as guest on Cam Heyward’s most recent Not Just Football podcast.
