Steelers QB Justin Fields on possibly returning kicks: 'I'm not here to do that'

Justin Fields wasn't a proponent for returning kicks for the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite viral speculation on the possibility.

Justin Fields does not want to return kicks for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite Steelers running back Jaylen Warren hinting several weeks ago that special teams coach Danny Smith was pondering the idea of using the Steelers' new quarterback as a kick returner, Fields brushed it off as mere chatter Tuesday. 'Nah, I’m not here to do that,' Fields told reporters. 'It was kind of a joke, to be honest with you. 'I think everybody kind of interpreted it wrong.

' We looked at him like, 'Justin Fields is about to be back there?' I don't know. I think it's cool.' Fields, though, seemed less than enthused when asked about it Tuesday. The first-round pick by the Chicago Bears in the 2021 NFL Draft would certainly be a capable playmaker in the open field, having rushed for 2,220 yards and 14 touchdowns during his career.
