Liam Davis people doubted his ability because he was a raw prospect. Also other teams have bigger needs to fill. People are so worried about injury prone players and value versatility which DK isn’t the best at. No one was saying he was too big or too strong. Personally I think he’d make a great TE but he is a deep threat only. If he makes his routes crisper I’ll be happy but I thought he was an early second talent at best. Also I think when they looked at DK they thought of David Boston who in Arizona got bigger and stronger and his play got worse after adding more strength to his game. Look up Flemlo raps vid on what happened to David Boston I can see the comparisons.
BullShark your statement is completely false. He ran numerous routes his rookie season, deep, crossing, comebacks if you look at the actual info from PFF some routes he was at the top of different routes run. He almost surpassed 1000 yards 58-900-7. Trust me he’s just fine at receiver and unfortunately you didn’t know what you were talking about...
Ryan Kruse clearly because those analysts stated these things before the draft, and before the 2019 season. He was clearly coached up because the actually numbers and analytics prove it. He ran numerous routes not just deep ones and had a huge rookie season.
@@errolduplessis9451 yeah I think that hurt his stock too. Honestly I think nobody really used him correctly, not that the Hawks are good at using weapons correctly...
I'm pissed hes not on my Jags, but he was on my fantasy team last year and came in clutch quite a few times. Plan on drafting him to my fantasy squad/squads next year also.
@@victorplayer7326 Carroll is actually one of the best drafters imo. Sure he has some mistakes, it’s impossible to be perfect but he found russ and Lockett all in super late rounds. He’s great at drafting players with a ton of potential who are overlooked and developing them well.
Who cares, the Seahawks have no defence and played no one this year. They have a easy schedule so they will have prove themselves in the playoffs without the 12’s to help them. The teams in the nfc west are the only difficult teams they play minus the 49ers who are having bad injury luck.
@@Wongwongwong10000 lol wtf? New England only sucks now because cam newton is gone and Dallas has the most offensive yards in the nfl but now Dak is gone. Minnesota is no slouch either. Greenbay will be a good game in the playoffs
I can't forget hearing the phone call with the Seahawks GM and also coach Pete Carroll where DK cry like a baby asking what took so long to draft him he was balling his eyes out man
Here are some video ideas - Ranking every number 1 draft pick from 2000 to 2020 from worst to first - 10 Worst draft busts of all time - Top 10 worst scandals in sports history
"a limited reciever at the next level...." You do realize that Calvin Johnson and Julio Jones didn't even run 3 cones right? They aren't that kind of reviever. All 3 guys are big bodied, alpha dog recievers who box defenders out with their size and strength. They don't need to be precision route runners becuase they're enormous
So the fact that he cant run sharp routes makes him a...limited reciever. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We will see by the end of the season if D.K id worth it
Because he was too big, too fast, too scary looking. Pete Carroll took off his own shirt at the interview.....and we got him in the second round. He will be a top 5 receiver this coming season.
Pete Carroll, the only guy who would take off his shirt in front of a player to relate to them. He is one of the oldest coaches in the league but has the youngest mindset. I swear if the Hawks return to the Superbowl they need to make a movie about it, and cast James Woods as Pete Carroll.
I'm no sports, or workout expert but I damn sure respect his determination and work ethic. Hes going big... I wish the best for him, but no matter what life chooses for him he will succeed.
Spazus no I mean what made him pursue becoming fast and stuff to become a wr won’t he lean toward linebacker, rb, te or something like that because of all the weights
A heartfelt thanks, to all the self proclaimed draft gurus who labelled DK Metcalf, as just a injury prone ,workout wonder, with bust written all over him. Also, thanks to the other 31 GM's who took said gurus sage advice, you don't want to waste a pick on a guy who shows Calvin Johnson like body and potential. DK, is the receiver the Hawks, have needed and HC's from Chuck Knox to Pete Carroll have been searching for, for years . The Hawks, were lucky and privileged to have first ballot HOF, NFL 100, all time team, Steve Largent. Daryll Turner, Brian Blades, Joey Galloway, Golden Tate, Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett have been excellent wide outs for us, but DK, is physically so different to any of the aforementioned. DK, is what Koren Robinson and Paul Richardson were supposed to be, a big, tall, fast, physical specimen, who puts the fear of God into DB's. DK, exceeded all expectations in his rookie season and made so called draft experts, and 31 GM,s look foolish. Ole Miss, didn't have a QB, like Russell Wilson, Cones, don't play DB in the NFL, next season, DB'S trying to cover him will be dropping back to the goaline. Sherm, with all due respect for your past great service, Jalen, and Mr Peterson, buckle up, brace yourselves and get saftey help because DK Metcalf, is coming your way. Last season you guys got a little taste of things to come, next season DK, will be going past you, over you and through you on his way unimpeded to end zone . Gentlemen, talk all the trash you want there's nothing you can do to stop DK. Go Hawks
well all the draft experts were saying that he was a bad route runner and had problems with drops and all he could really do is run go routes and win jump balls, he had 58 receptions out of 100 targets with 5 drops (tied for 10th worst in the league) and his route running still needs a lot of improvement, idk about you but draft analysis seemed pretty spot on too me, do the analysts go a little crazy with over exaggerations, yes , but that doesn't mean what they say ins't true, we'll see how well he does in the future i hope he turns out to be great but the jury is still out on him
As a seahawks fan I'm glad they pick him I was so happy how he played for the Seahawks it got me thinking "he could be the next Doug Baldwin" after Doug Baldwin made announcement of his retirement. Just wait DK Metcalf will get better and better for another year.
@@dolamitic Even in Philly where they cry like no tomorrow about not drafting him after BG's strip sack in the SB Errol Thomas chants have stopped, I honestly dont think he would be as good here, we have a coach and QB that dont work together, his offense is either short high skill guys make a thing after the catch or out route plot down the feed. This isnt what either of Wentz nor Metcalf excel at. Fulgham being a DK Lite and working is simply because fool me once issues. They had a raw fast big dude, told him to run until your open and find the ball, bam it works. DK would have been boo'd off the team by then.
@@dolamitic 100% Russ is perfect for him. I still think he would find success in over half the league tho. AJ Brown did just fine in TN with Tannehill.
Yeah 13 minute video gushing over him just to explain he had injuries, then try to brush over the fact that he is a stiff and not a fluid route runner, and also don't mention the fact AJ Browns play made him a #2 option his whole playing career at Ole Miss. I honestly just don't understand the point of the video. Why not do one about AJ who was ranked as the #1 receiver in initial rankings and fell slowly and also u know has outplayed DK since they have known each other and also during their rookie years
@@caterpietv6723 nah give me AJ no offense to DK but I would rather have someone that's smooth like AJ but lacks top end in-line speed, then someone like DK who has top end in-line speed but will never be as fluid running routes or cutting than AJ.
DK Metcalf has certainly made a case for the best deep-ball threat so early in his career, and it certainly doesn't hurt to have the best deep-ball QB to put it on the numbers. (Y)
Official Portland he’s just really isn’t that good he just got open because Tyler Lockett was getting double covered like every play he isn’t anywhere near as good as AJ and he’s never gonna be able to be a teams number 1 reciever
Chase Claypool vs. DK Metcalf combine #s: Ht: 76" vs.75.4" wt: 229 vs. 228 40yd: 4.42 vs. 4.33 vertical: 40.5 vs. 40.5 both are insane physical specimens who fell way too low in the draft.
DK is no bust I can tell you that much. He’ll continue to be one of Russell Wilson’s favorite targets in Seattle and besides I like how he handled the fact that he was drafted in the second round. If there is anybody to blame for him dropping to the second round that would be on us in the media. We only talked about what he couldn’t do instead of how he could help somebody with his God-given abilities as a wide receiver and right now he’s making a lot of us in the media and the 31 NFL teams that passed him up look really stupid.
Guys get passed up all the time. You should get to upset about it. With Questionable health and bad route running that tends to happen. Didn't Seattle pass him up in the first round too?
If you aren't a good route runner, of course you will get passed up in the 1st round. Also having Pete as his coach and Russell Wilson as his QB played a huge part in his rookie success. Could he have put up those same rookie numbers playing for the Bears? Most likely not.
@@akin242002 Making it sound like it’s his own fault for dropping to the second round when most of it wasn’t even his fault. He got hurt in his junior year and had limited film. Plus I consider the three-cone drill they have at the combine full of crap because it doesn’t tell you how good someone is at route running. I played wide receiver in high school and the only way I got better at route running was through practice and football games. Just because we said DK was not good at running routes doesn’t mean he’ll always be a one trick pony. If he is in the right system, which he is right now, then he’ll make us all look stupid and yes I agree if he was drafted by another team that had a subpar quarterback he wouldn’t put up the same numbers he has put up right now with Russell Wilson but that’s not just because of Russ it’s also because DK is getting himself open in certain situations and against different teams week by week.
@@Tdull-tv1ds His reputation as a bad route runner was based on film, not the 3-cone drill. The 3-cone drill is used to measure quickness and stamina. The 20 yard short shuttle is a better measurement of agility and quickness; which highly correlates with good route running.
Excellent video. I was born and raised in Oxford, die-hard Ole Miss fan. I now live 50 miles north, but I've never taken my eye off things down there for long. This high school my son played for plays Oxford every year. You could hardly get a ticket during the Metcalf years. We've all heard the phrase, "Men among boys." NEVER have I seen this more accurate than with Metcalf in HS. Opposing teams actually looked forward to playing Oxford just to see what all the buzz was about. Metcalf DOMINATED. When he went to Ole Miss the talent was just as obvious. But he got hurt a couple of times, and he played on a team that possessed a WR that was actually (unbelievably) better than he was - AJ Brown!! Do yourselves a favor and go watch any of those Ole Miss games (or the highlights) from 2015-18. That offense was unbelievably prolific and FUN! If Ole Miss had been able to field a decent defense, they'd have been national contenders. Their offense was among the best in the nation, and so much of it was the result of the NWO - the Nasty WideOuts: AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, and Demarkus Lodge (and a future 3rd rd pick for the Buffalo Bills, TE Dawson Knox)
The fact that this dude wasnt picked in the top 10 let alone the first round, blows my mind. If the steelers hadn't snuck up for Bush, Metcalf would've been the right pick lol. Metcalf will be one of the best receiver in the nfl for the next 10 years.
You have to give Russel some of the credit. One of the top quarter backs in the NFL today. Russel and DK will be the the best the NFL has seen in a long time..
@@treycotter nigga what you mean? Its literally the top song in pretty much the world rn. So that means EVERYONE is still singing it lol. So yeah dawg, its not old just yet. Nigga you just saying stuff 😂
2:04 1.6% Body fat? If I'm a cold-weather team, that would raise red flags for me. That's beyond unhealthy, even though he proved he can work with that.
Seattle's always been criticized for their drafts and yet seattle always a playoff team year in and out whatever pete and john do I'm glad they do it cause it works
Lol I still dont know why they did that. I remember thinking to myself, I should work in a scouting department because only an idiot would take andy over DK.
Falling that low may have honestly been a blessing in disguise for him, if he had gotten picked by most of the top 10 draft picks he would have gotten a terrible qb throwing him passes
How can u not be unbelievably happy getting to learn from Pete Carol and Russell Wilson!!! Also he looks like a sculpture and with good family values. Great video!! He seems to b doing very well, i was upset when the Eagles didn't try to get him, he would have fit in good in Philly
He probably would have because Doug can take the double team from the slot, leaving Tyler and DK alone on the outside, plus Baldwin is one of the better route runners during his time in the NFL, easily could have helped DK's route tree as he did for Tyler, though, he did say that Tyler was more polished than he was entering the league.
Um, yeah it did. It clearly talked about his inability to stay healthy in college with a litany of injuries (including a serious neck injury), his bad 3-cone drill time, and how scouts started to view him as just a deep threat who couldn't develop into a route runner. Did you even watch the video?
First pick in my fantasy league, then Travis Kelce and Russel Wilson followed by Derek Henry. Not bad. Love Metcalf, I know it’s early in his career but I see greatness in his future. I guess Belicek missed out on this one,
The Seahawks are not really my team but I love to watch them now. I always liked to watch Russell Wilson but now with this DK Metcalf threat I really love watching the Seahawks play and watch every game I can. It’s hard to beat that duo!
When you run 4.33, you don't need sharp breaks. Any jab step is going to be 2x more effective because he can blow past you. And yah, turns out he's got an elite jab step. Whodda think.
B00fpack ' nah bruh his shoulders and legs too small to have an LB build and being under 5% body fat is detrimental hence why he was hurt a lot in college
I would not trade DK Metcalf for no other receiver in the NFL. He is the best receiver in the NFL. So glad Metcalf is a Seahawk. What i like most about Metcalf, one of the most humble players in the NFL. All the best to this young man. Well deserved.

Excellent video. I was born and raised in Oxford, die-hard Ole Miss fan. I now live 50 miles north, but I've never taken my eye off things down there for long. This high school my son played for plays Oxford every year. You could hardly get a ticket during the Metcalf years. We've all heard the phrase, "Men among boys." NEVER have I seen this more accurate than with Metcalf in HS. Opposing teams actually looked forward to playing Oxford just to see what all the buzz was about. Metcalf DOMINATED. When he went to Ole Miss the talent was just as obvious. But he got hurt a couple of times, and he played on a team that possessed a WR that was actually (unbelievably) better than he was - AJ Brown!! Do yourselves a favor and go watch any of those Ole Miss games (or the highlights) from 2015-18. That offense was unbelievably prolific and FUN! If Ole Miss had been able to field a decent defense, they'd have been national contenders. Their offense was among the best in the nation, and so much of it was the result of the NWO - the Nasty WideOuts: AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, and Demarkus Lodge (and a future 3rd rd pick for the Buffalo Bills, TE Dawson Knox)
Damn, that Transformation with the help of Jason Russell was amazing. PED's can work wonders lol
I said last year that if DK ever developed hands that were even half as good as teammate Tyler Lockett's, he'd be unstoppable.
And that is happening.
He has way better hands than last year
@@datpandadude1392 Very true.
wow, hot take man
Thank you for letting us know the young messiah at 3:17 was not in fact D.K Metcalf
The fact that this dude wasnt picked in the top 10 let alone the first round, blows my mind. If the steelers hadn't snuck up for Bush, Metcalf would've been the right pick lol.
Metcalf will be one of the best receiver in the nfl for the next 10 years.
We really got jj arthega whiteside 🤦🏽♂️
Teofimo will beat that midget Loma he was solid and Alshon Jeffrey was supposed to be your big body receiver but then he got injured.
Should’ve chosen the other Blackside instead.
Probably the worst WR in the whole class
Eagles are idiots
The gridiron heights draft special with DK is amazing
Rob Webster guys... who’s gonna tell him
You have to give Russel some of the credit. One of the top quarter backs in the NFL today. Russel and DK will be the the best the NFL has seen in a long time..
Loved how they showed Howie when he said a gut feeling. 😂
Yeah..he is a good "numbers" GM but his drafting is awful. Taking JJ over Metcalf and Reagor over Jefferson 🤦♂️
Let the doubters be doubters!! He landed with the perfect team. He’s playing with Russell Wilson and Pete carrol!!
DK has some of the most potential in the league he’s only going up from here
Very humble kid and just a beast. I hope Seahawks can keep him for his whole career.
Wonder why AJ Brown also fell considering he was the better prospect and also better player in general
Adust Gaming coming from a titans fan
He fell off because of his character
dk might have the slight edge in my opinion but their really similar.
@@yourmomachicken5933the big thing is dk has a massive massive QB advantage but AJ still producing
Adust Gaming aj is really good but dk is target #2
D k is a beast
Pull out the whole damn seal imma get lazy
Farting Flower STAALLIIINNNNNN
@@Angel-ql6zu 😂😂😂😂
Coooooppppyyyrrriiiiggghhhttttt
We ain’t bump that song no more we moved on ages ago
@@treycotter nigga what you mean? Its literally the top song in pretty much the world rn. So that means EVERYONE is still singing it lol. So yeah dawg, its not old just yet. Nigga you just saying stuff 😂
Dwayne Jones u don’t u know to read bro he wasn’t talking about the song he was talking about the Staaaalllllinnnn dumbass
Just glad we got the kid. RW3 is the perfect mentor for him, with the same kind of chip on the shoulder
Cannot believe he fell so far because of a 3 cone drill. I had him going 7th to the Jaguars, but, being the Seahawks fan I am, I am elated we got him
American Metal Head 7 way too high
Leo M. Well the Jags needed a reciever
0:52 mark coach B holding up his binoculars backwards. Comedy gold
Dk is doing his best for just coming out of the draft and needs time to fully get used to the Seahawks offense
The Seahawks are amongst the best teams at drafting wrs and getting them to perform. At least in the Pete Carroll era.
They could've just said in the video to make it shorter that they thought he wouldnt be good because his 3-cone
S&C Coach Russell and Mr Metcalf... thank you. We just love DK in Seattle. I knew he was going to be great and I'm no expert.
2:04 1.6% Body fat? If I'm a cold-weather team, that would raise red flags for me. That's beyond unhealthy, even though he proved he can work with that.
This was a joke... right??
Other athletic trainers have said his body fat is closer to the 6-7% range. 1.6% simply isn’t believable.
If its 1.6% he would be dead. You cant really go below 3%. He is more around 6-8%. Just Google 3% and you'll see hes not close to that.
Kevin Grelle you can go below three... but only for around a week most of the time less
@Christopher Palmer no way 10% way to high. He's probably aroundy 5 or 6.
Great video!
3:30 GET TO THE GOD DAMN POINT!
No
I already knew he was going to be a very good receiver. He landed in the perfect spot.
Metcalf is a stud! So glad he's a Hawk.
Seattle's always been criticized for their drafts and yet seattle always a playoff team year in and out whatever pete and john do I'm glad they do it cause it works
Imagine Cards taking him w Josh Rosen pick instead of Isabella 😩
Lol I still dont know why they did that.
I remember thinking to myself, I should work in a scouting department because only an idiot would take andy over DK.
This is my favorite TPS video
Thank you NFL for letting Seattle get him and now y’all gonna regret it
Falling that low may have honestly been a blessing in disguise for him, if he had gotten picked by most of the top 10 draft picks he would have gotten a terrible qb throwing him passes
with Metcalf and Lockett, Wilson had dangerous targets - the D has to get better though
true but it seems to be all coming together
I always find it funny that the Seahawks have a bad defense now.
"Not actually DK Metcalf" got me lmaooo
It’s a good place for DK Metcalf to start his career no it’s a good place for him to start and end his career go hawks
How can u not be unbelievably happy getting to learn from Pete Carol and Russell Wilson!!! Also he looks like a sculpture and with good family values. Great video!! He seems to b doing very well, i was upset when the Eagles didn't try to get him, he would have fit in good in Philly
3:16
Tell me he reminded us that a white kid was not metcalf
Lolol
Omg
D.K. Metcalf's black!?!
Tyler Hunkele WHY DIDN’T THEY TELL US HE WAS BLACK?!?
Dalton Watson they stupid
0:26 damn this music was the background music fo my sophomore season Highlights 😂
As a hawks fan I hate to admit it but if Angry Doug didn't retire DK wouldn't have had the season and development he had last yaer
He probably would have because Doug can take the double team from the slot, leaving Tyler and DK alone on the outside, plus Baldwin is one of the better route runners during his time in the NFL, easily could have helped DK's route tree as he did for Tyler, though, he did say that Tyler was more polished than he was entering the league.
@@321Camera The volume of passes DK got early on would not have been there drastically cutting into his production and chemistry with Wilson.
@@maxwelljones7213 He was training with Russ after he got drafted, so the chemistry was built during the summer
i bet a lot of those teams that passed on Metcalf are kicking themselves now.
Ravens picked marqusee brown over him 😂😂
Yea brown is fast but he’s also like 5’10 and really small frame compared to dK
My friend’s grandfather was the coach of dk at Oxford high school and when dk came to visit the high school my friend got his autograph
Go Seeahawksss
When I saw the comparison of Metcalf vs Julio 👀 my mind was blown
Pretty sure Julio times under 4.4, was at least 3.39 from what I remember?
With his speed and physique u automatically think TO Julio and Calvin even if he happened to be a bust u still have to take a chance on that
Exactly
He wasn’t a bust either😂he will definitely get the ball this coming up season💯
You should do videos and redo the 2018 or 2019 nfl 1st draft based off the nfl production
This doesn’t Awnser the question why he was drafted late this is just a life story
Um, yeah it did. It clearly talked about his inability to stay healthy in college with a litany of injuries (including a serious neck injury), his bad 3-cone drill time, and how scouts started to view him as just a deep threat who couldn't develop into a route runner. Did you even watch the video?
First pick in my fantasy league, then Travis Kelce and Russel Wilson followed by Derek Henry. Not bad. Love Metcalf, I know it’s early in his career but I see greatness in his future. I guess Belicek missed out on this one,
I got him in the sixth round. I drafted Henry, Conner, Jones, Amari, Woods, Metcalf and Murray as my first 7
Fkin Nkeal Harry....We coulda had Metcalf instead we got that bum...Metcalfs gonna be a stud for a long time.
He drop bcc he was on and off, he would catch passes and there were time he was have a night where he drop passes
He megatron. Glad to be a Seahawks fan. Cus no one stopping metcalf
Unfortunately he costed himself some money with that poor 3 cone performance, would have been better for him if he didn't run that drill
Trying to think of a tall receiver that relyed on his change of direction to be successful? The short guys got to have some advantage.
Better for him? He landed on a perennial playoff team with the best deep ball thrower in the league....I don't think he's upset
Dalton v I think I see a Seahawks fan
The Seahawks are not really my team but I love to watch them now. I always liked to watch Russell Wilson but now with this DK Metcalf threat I really love watching the Seahawks play and watch every game I can. It’s hard to beat that duo!
Second comment!
Megatron didn't even do the 3-cone drill at the combine. Likely his results would have been similar to Metcalf's.
First comment
Omg
Dk is going to have a big year this year!
When you run 4.33, you don't need sharp breaks. Any jab step is going to be 2x more effective because he can blow past you.
And yah, turns out he's got an elite jab step. Whodda think.
It’s funny because He’s one of the most feared receivers in the league now😭😭😭😭
As a hawk fan I'm personally happy he was underrated 😂
You can tell he is going to be a big star in the league. So happy Seahawks drafted him for Russell.
Definition of paralysis by analysis 😂 Glad you dropped to us and you have one of the best 2 QBs in the league tossing throws to you. Go Hawks!
We have such a solid core locket metcalf moore
That "long lanky freshman" would be one of the biggest kids at my school😂🤦🏻♂️
All I have to say here is I'm glad we got him!
1. Aj brown. 2. Dk metcalf. 3. Hardman 4. Scary terry don’t st me by the way these are only the rookies top 4.
He had durability questions coming out of college but glad to see that he is doing well
B00fpack ' nah bruh his shoulders and legs too small to have an LB build and being under 5% body fat is detrimental hence why he was hurt a lot in college
I would not trade DK Metcalf for no other receiver in the NFL. He is the best receiver in the NFL. So glad Metcalf is a Seahawk. What i like most about Metcalf, one of the most humble players in the NFL. All the best to this young man. Well deserved.
