Steelers special teamer Miles Killebrew was named to the Pro Bowl as an alternate

Steelers defensive back Miles Killebrew is returning to the Pro Bowl.

Killebrew was selected as an AFC special teams player at the end of the 2023 season, and the Steelers announced Wednesday that he will start this year’s edition as a replacement. Patriots special teamer Brenden Schooler was an original and All-Pro selection, but is unable to participate in the various plays that make up the event due to injury.

Killebrew was credited with 13 tackles in the regular season and two tackles in the Steelers’ playoff loss to the Ravens. The 2024 season was Killebrew’s fourth with the Steelers.

Kicker Chris Boswell, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and linebacker TJ Watt are the other Steelers who will participate in the Pro Bowl festivities.
