Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro and special teams ace Miles Killebrew may be planning to join former coach Danny Smith, who is now the special teams coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Killebrew, who is set to become a free agent, has reportedly put his Pennsylvania home on the market and relocated to Tampa, Florida, fueling speculation that he could follow Smith in free agency.

Why it matters

Killebrew's potential departure would be a significant loss for the Steelers, as he has been a key contributor on special teams and was named a First-Team All-Pro in 2023. His reunion with Smith in Tampa could bolster the Buccaneers' special teams unit and provide Killebrew with a familiar coaching environment.

The details

Killebrew began his career with the Detroit Lions as primarily a special teams player. He joined the Steelers in 2021, where he thrived under the guidance of respected special teams coordinator Danny Smith. During his time in Pittsburgh, Killebrew was named to two Pro Bowls and earned First-Team All-Pro honors in 2023.

• Killebrew is set to become a free agent in the upcoming offseason.
• Killebrew has reportedly put his Pennsylvania home on the market and relocated to Tampa, Florida.

What’s next

The Steelers will need to monitor Killebrew's free agency decision and determine if they can retain him or if he will reunite with his former coach in Tampa.
