Seahawks’ DK Metcalf reacts to Madden NFL 21 speed rating on Twitter

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf reacted to his Madden NFL 21 speed rating of 95 on Twitter, and it sounds like he is disappointed.

 

The Madden NFL 21 ratings are out and they have polarized opinions among the NFL’s players and fans alike. However, some have evoked particularly strong reactions from players, in particular.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf is irritated at his 95-speed rating and voiced his displeasure on Twitter.

“Stop playing, 😂 I need to run the 40 again huh?” Metcalf tweeted.

Metcalf ran a 4.33 in his 40-yard dash at the NFL combine prior to being drafted in 2019 and showed tremendous speed on the field in his rookie season, so it is understandable that he would be miffed.

Metcalf is not an isolated incident, as several other players around the league believe they have been underrated or snubbed.

WATCH: Ravens QB Lamar Jackson breaks ‘Madden’ record

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will hold the highest-ever speed rating for a QB at 96 in the new “Madden NFL” update.

Lamar Jackson’s mark on the NFL is now moving from the football field to the virtual world.

When the “Madden NFL” video game franchise makes its latest round of updates on Thanksgiving day, the Ravens quarterback will hold the highest-ever speed rating for a QB at 96. Michael Vick held the previous record at 95.

Vick told USA Today Sports that he’s honored to be part of Jackson’s rise:

“It’s like the passing of the torch. I’m gone, but not forgotten. Look, with every highlight that Lamar makes, it reminds people of me. It will remind people of Cam (Newton). It will remind people of Russell (Wilson). It will remind people of (Randall) Cunningham. Donovan (McNabb), all the mobile quarterbacks who came before us and who are going to come after us.
