PITTSBURGH -- Justin Fields, return man?

Maybe if Pittsburgh Steelers special teams coordinator Danny Smith has his way.

In a live recording of Cam Heyward's Not Just Football podcast from the Steelers' draft party over the weekend, running back Jaylen Warren said that Smith suggested Fields, whom the Steelers acquired in a March trade with the Chicago Bears, could return kickoffs with the rule change preventing players from moving until the returner touches the ball.

"I think it's pretty good," Warren told Heyward, when asked how he felt about the new kickoff rules.
