EA Sports recently released a trailer for the upcoming Madden 25 video game, featuring former Bears quarterback Justin Fields as a kickoff return man. This decision was based on a joke made by Steelers running back Jaylen Warren during Steelers training camp.
Warren mentioned in a podcast that the Steelers special teams coordinator, Danny Smith, had jokingly suggested Fields as a potential kickoff returner due to his speed, elusiveness, and physical abilities. However, Fields himself dismissed the idea, stating that he was not interested in returning kicks and that it was all meant in good fun.
Fields clarified that Coach Danny’s intention was to emphasize the importance of all players being ready to contribute on special teams if needed, regardless of their position on the team. Despite the social media buzz surrounding the trailer and the suggestion of Fields as a return man, it was all in jest.
While it is unlikely that the real Justin Fields will be returning kicks in actual games, Madden 25 players can now enjoy the virtual experience of having him as a kick returner in the video game. This adds a fun and unexpected element to the gameplay, allowing fans to see Fields in a different role on the field.

Fans can now look forward to controlling Fields on special teams and experiencing the thrill of returning kicks with a talented quarterback at the helm.
As the release of Madden 25 draws near, the excitement among gamers and football fans continues to build. With Justin Fields making a surprising appearance in the trailer, the game promises to offer a unique and entertaining gameplay experience that goes beyond the traditional roles of players on the field.
