Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf seeks to cut down his drops and glean further knowledge of the offense in his sophomore season.
“Basically just building on last year. I know had a few drops last year that I’ve got to clean up,” Metcalf said during his Zoom press conference last week. “And just expanding my role in the offense and learning the offense more. I know last year I was just getting my feet wet with everything in the offense and being in the league. It’s just taking the next step, taking my game to the next level.”
Metcalf spent this offseason working out with quarterback Russell Wilson. Coach Pete Carroll stated on Monday that fans will see an improved Metcalf in 2020, if there is a season.
“He’s going to be better this year,” Carroll said. “He had an incredible offseason. He spent, I don’t know, at least a month with Russell (Wilson) working out, they found a way to do it, and they had a phenomenal summer in that regard. What gives him a chance to be a really exciting player is his mentality. He knows exactly who he is, he knows where he’s come from, he knows what it’s all about.”
Metcalf’s relationship with Wilson has grown stronger over the course of this offseason, and Wilson has given Metcalf invaluable advice that the latter has taken to heart.
“Nothing is going to be handed to you,” Metcalf said. “If you want to be great you’ve got to go get it.”
Wilson and Metcalf potentially making more magic on the field is an exciting thought, particularly because Metcalf is only entering his second season and his potential is limitless.
