‘Have To Think Outside Of The Box:’ Former NFL Players Say Steelers Should Let Fields Return Kicks

First up, three-time Pro Bowler and Pittsburgh native LaVar Arrington. According to Arrington on the 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe podcast, people need to stop looking at the speculation as a knock on Fields’ ability as a quarterback.

“When people make things derogatory it comes across that way and it takes that narrative and it takes on that tone,” Arrington said.
