Steelers QB Justin Fields shuts down kick returner rumor: 'I'm not here to do that'

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren recently mentioned that the team's special teams coordinator floated the idea of utilizing Justin Fields as a kick returner.

Justin Fields is one of the more athletic quarterbacks in the NFL, but don't expect to see him fielding kick returns in 2024. The Pittsburgh Steelers signal caller threw cold water on the idea that he would participate in any kick-return experiments. 'Nah, I'm not here to do that,' Fields said on Tuesday, according to The Post-Gazette.

But, Fields asserted that those comments were taken out of context. 'Nah, I think everybody kind of interpreted it wrong,' said Fields. 'Coach Danny was basically just trying to send a message that no matter who you are, you could be on special teams. He just used that as an example.'
