Justin Fields cleared the air on Tuesday stating that he would not be returning kicks for the Pittsburgh Steelers. This idea stemmed from Jaylen Warren on Cameron Heyward’s Not Just Football live draft show saying that ST coordinator Danny Smith mentioned the idea of Fields returning kicks. Fields said that the words were misconstrued, and that Smith was just trying to make a point that anyone can be called on to play special teams.
Plaxico Burress expanded on that idea during Wednesday morning’s episode of The Carton Show on FS1, recalling a time when something similar was asked of him as a rookie.
