In the land of the NFL, there dwells a mighty quarterback known as Justin Fields, a man of great athleticism and skill. However, do not expect to see him gallivanting about as a kick returner in the year 2024. The Pittsburgh Steelers' signal caller swiftly doused any hopes of such antics, declaring, "Nah, I'm not here to do that." It seems the rumors sprouted from teammate Jaylen Warren's musings on a podcast hosted by Cam Heyward.Warren claimed that the team's special teams coordinator had toyed with the idea of placing Fields in the returner role for kickoffs this season. But fear not, for Fields clarified that the situation had been blown out of proportion, stating, "Nah, I think everybody kind of interpreted it wrong."Fields, aged 25, has recently been traded from the Chicago Bears to the Steelers, where he will likely support the esteemed Russell Wilson. Nevertheless, Fields is not one to shy away from competition, boldly asserting, "I’m definitely competing."As the NFL prepares to implement new kick return rules in 2024, the era of flashy returns may be coming to an end. But fear not, for the spirit of competition and camaraderie still burns bright in the hearts of players like Justin Fields.
