Justin Fields has a new home in 2024 with the Steelers. Could he have a new position in Pittsburgh, too?

Justin Fields has a new home in 2024, getting traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in March. He could also have a new position, too. The quarterback could serve as one of the Steelers' kick returners under the NFL's new kickoff rules, according to Pittsburgh running back Jaylen Warren, who shared the idea during a live taping of teammate Cam Heyward's podcast. 'I think it's pretty good,' Warren said of the new kickoff rules.

He's used that speed to turn into one of the NFL's most mobile quarterbacks and arguably one of its best all-around runners, as he's rushed for 2,220 yards and 14 touchdowns in 40 career games. The Chicago Bears sparingly used Fields in special formations as he recorded 22 snaps out of the backfield or as a receiver during his three seasons with the team, per Pro Football Focus. There's also some risk to using him as a returner.
