Round 3/4: Miles Killebrew | Utah State | Safety
Miles Killebrew is one of my favourite small school prospects this draft. While he’s a lot to learn when it comes to dropping off into deep coverage, his tackling is some of the finest going. When he hits a player, they won’t forget him. He is a violent clean tackler and consistently put up good numbers at college.
If Drago from Rocky IV had a son, and that son played football, it would be Miles Killebrew.

You have to love his hunger and desire not just for the game as a whole but to make every tackle. He was a captain and certainly meets the right kind of guy mentality that the Cowboys preach about.
Killebrew may need some time before being trusted as a starting defender, but he has all the skills you like to see in a special teamer. The Cowboys are desperate for safety who can make a tackle. Killebrew could be the perfect fit.
