Seahawks WR DK Metcalf committed to fixing drops after rookie season

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf is committed to improving in certain areas for the 2020 season, particularly regarding drops.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf had a fantastic rookie season and looks to be one of the team’s most important players for the foreseeable future.

However, Metcalf stated that he is committed to rectifying his faults this offseason.

“I think I did pretty good [in my first year], but there’s always something I can work on,” Metcalf told NBC Sports Northwest. “That’s going to be my main focus during the offseason is just working on the things I saw as flaws during my rookie season and just build on that.”

Metcalf opined he had an excessive number of drops throughout his rookie season, and that is what he is primarily focused on improving.

“Mainly my drops,” Metcalf stated. “I had way too many drops in my opinion. Some of those drops could have changed the outcome of the game. I’m just working on those drops, man.”

Metcalf’s rookie season in 2019 was one of the best for a wide receiver and a Seahawk in recent memory, as he recorded 58 receptions for 900 yards and seven touchdowns. This is a promising start to what could potentially be a great career. If he corrects his flaws while maintaining stellar production alongside veteran wide Tyler Lockett, he could quickly establish himself as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.
