A Closer Look at the 2016 Safety Class

I haven't watched Houston-Carson yet so I don't have an opinion on him.

Unless draftbreakdown has new games on Killebrew the tape I saw left me underwhelmed.

I'm curious what you see that you like about them?

Physical and size for killebrew. Hard httin. Houstone csrson, nice range and leader in the secondary.

I agree that Killebrew looks the part. But hard hitting? Didn't see it on film.

that Killebrew kid looks like a big play waiting to happen!

he can cover ground & he can certainly make an open field tackle and doesn't quit on a play.

Almost every prospect will look good in a highlight reel.

But, when you watchs his game film do you see a big hitter?

don't ever judge a guy by his highlight reel alone. anyone can look good for 4 minutes of a 4 year career.

Lol, ya think?

Steelers 2016 Draft Prospect Breakdown: Southern Utah Safety Miles Killebrew - Behind the Steel Curtain (http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2016-nfl-mock-drafts-profiles-video-clips-highlights-steelers-analysis-breakdowns-news/2016/3/14/11215156/steelers-2016-draft-prospect-breakdown-southern-utah-safety-miles)

Physical safety, a little raw and big special teams contributor. Good size. Also yearly accolades as one of the top safeties...good production.

Below is a convo from TMC about KBrew that we had from the combine after watching his game tape cutups:

In just my limited time watching the Killebrew film (about 6-7 minutes or so) he would take the hit more than deliver it. Seemed to have good play recognition, but too many times he was letting the velocity of the other team overtake him. Makes me scared for someone that size. Wouldn't say tentative, but he just didn't have his acceleration there. It's like he would break down for the tackle and just stop moving his feet. *shrugs*
Pretty much what I saw. It's only a 1 game sample size but I left that game feeling thatMiles lacked aggression and imho that is a trait a S must have all the time. Maybe he'll bring the wood at the Senior Bowl, but without that aggression for me personally I wouldn't pick him before the 4th round and that's only if he checks off everything else...speed, agility, coverage, range etc. The comparison's I've read about him to D. Buc and Kam Chancellor seem way, way off base.

I watched a few more of the Draft Breakdown clips and saw more of what made me nervous initially. Imposing dude for sure, but really didn't seem aggressive at all. Was in the right place most of the time, but for someone that big, he was taking the hit versus delivering it.

I was hoping he would make some noise at the Senior Bowl and have a good measurables to make bump him up. But I have a bunch of SAF graded out ahead of him.

I couldn't find my old chart of this game from before and didn't want to re-chart the whole game.....here's the first 5 minutes:

:03 Half Field--poor angle, slow to pursue, didn't gang tackle

:18 HF--gets frozen by juke and stops feet, gives 2 yards after contact to QB

:48 HF--fills hole, squares up but misses contact, drags RB down after 2 yards

1:08 HF--over runs sideline, misses contact, makes arm tackle

1:34 HF--ducks head, misses contact, tries to arm tackle/drag RB breaks away

2:20 HF--tries to grab tackle RB breaks free

3:08 HF--gets blocked and stays blocked by WR

3:35 HF--tentative to gang tackle

4:40 HF--makes drag tackle after giving up 1-2 yards at contact
