Yes, that's right -- a QB fielding kickoffs!

In their new trailer for Madden 25 — featuring Christian McCaffrey on the cover — there’s Fields out there fielding a kick before giving the ball to Cordarrelle Patterson, which would be a fun play.

Is that Justin Fields returning a kickoff in the new Madden trailer?
