When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed John Rhys Plumlee as an undrafted free agent in late April, most people expected him to simply be the fourth man at quarterback throughout training camp and the preseason. However, he’s pretty much doing everything he can but play quarterback. In the team’s first preseason game, he didn’t even receive any playing time on offense. Instead, he was relegated to returning kicks, a role he had practiced before. It seems like Plumlee was all for the idea though, one way or another.
In a video on Twitter from 93.7 The Fan, Plumlee was asked how he felt before returning his first kickoff.
