There is no denying Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf had himself quite the game Sunday night, scoring the winning touchdown to help the team advance to a perfect 5-0 season start for the first time in franchise history.
On the night, Metcalf was the Seahawks leading receiver, logging six receptions for 93 yards and two touchdowns. But does he feel like he stacks up with some of the best of the best around the league?
“It’s a blessing to be in a category like that or for that question to even pop up,” Metcalf said after the win. “In my mind, I feel like I’m getting to that point. There are still people in this league that I look up to like Deandre Hopkins, Julio Jones, Mike Thomas, Odell Beckham Jr. They’re still great players in this league. Just to be up there with them, I know my work ethic and how I am as a player.
“I believe I’m in that realm, but I’ve still got a lot of work to do.”
Metcalf’s play is certainly not fool-proof, as anyone who’s witnessed his drops can attest, but the sophomore is well on his way to being one of the most impressive receivers in the NFL this year, and hopefully, for years to come.
