Lions told Miles Killebrew they didn't want him, then drafted him

Turns out the Lions and safeties coach Alan Williams were just messing with Killebrew the entire time -- something made obvious Saturday when he became the No. 111 overall pick of the 2016 draft to the Lions.

Hope this kid starts right out of the gate. I'd hate to see his career derailed by ST duties. This was a Teryl Austin pick, without a doubt.

I think Austin could have a lot of fun with the kid moving him all over the place.

With all the question marks at Safety, I think this kid has a great shot of sticking around and possibly starting.

As a 4th round pick he is sticking around. Training camp and preseason will let us know how much playing time he will get. As long as he does not find himself out of place or taking the wrong angles due to the speed of the NFL, I think he should be in the mix to start
