Batko: Justin Fields Says He Won’t Be Used On Kickoff Returns

At the time that he made the comment during an appearance on Cameron Heyward’s podcast “Not Just Football with Cameron Heyward”, Pittsburgh Steelers’ running back Jaylen Warren had no idea that blurting out the idea of new quarterback Justin Fields potentially returning kickoffs under the new rules would take off like wildfire.

It did just that in the hours and days after he made his comment as social media took the alleged idea from Steelers’ special teams coordinator Danny Smith and ran with it, causing quite a news cycle.

For Fields, it was a comment that was interpreted incorrectly.
