The Tampa Bay Buccaneer signed veteran safety Miles Killabrew this off-season to strengthen

their special team's unit.

ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler broke the news first.

While Killabrew plays safety, his real value comes from his standout special teams play

across the league.

Killabrew has long been one of the top special teamers in football thanks to his tackling

skills and big plays on kicks and punts.

Last year in 2023, he earned first team all pro honors while with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Buccaneers hoped this move fixes last season's shaky special teams performance, which hurt

them in close gains with blocked kicks.

His leadership and experience should provide an instant lift.

Now Killabrew reunites with special teams coordinator Danny Smith, who coached him in

Pittsburgh and just joined the Buccaneer.

Their past success together could quickly raise the units level.

Overall, Tampa Bay seems focused on turning special teams into a strength heading into

the new season, giving them an edge in tight matchups.
