Justin Fields' career got a fresh start this offseason after the Chicago Bears shipped off the former No. 11 pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in March. He is now expected to compete for the starting job in the Steel City, battling against free agent acquisition Russell Wilson and incumbent backup Mason Rudolph. However, that may not be all Fields is tasked with.

Warren revealed the Steelers' special teams coach was considering having Fields return kicks in light of the new NFL rules introduced this offseason.
Well, that's certainly one way to utilize Fields' unique skillset. And it may not even end up the weirdest strategy special teams coaches will try under the new kickoff setup.
