DK Metcalf 1.6% Body Fat - THE TRUTH!

  • NFL Prospect Wide Receiver D.K. Metcalf is the talk of the combines after registering a 1.6 percent body fat level and showcasing a combination of athleticism rarely seen. In this video, I’m going to answer the question of whether or not I believe this body fat reading to be accurate, and even more importantly, healthy for a competitive athlete.

    When you initially look at D.K. you realize that he is certainly in incredible shape. He has a level of muscularity not often seen in other wide receivers and nobody would argue he has low body fat levels. The question is, whether they are to be believed to be at such an incredibly low level such as 1.6 percent fat.
    When you consider the preferred method of testing in the NFL Combine it becomes apparent quite quickly that the reported number is likely not accurate. You see, the combines have been using the Bod Pod to determine body fat levels for almost 13 years now. This form of fat analysis relies on volume displacement of air (very similar to the underwater testing being a volumetric measurement of water displacement).
    The data is collected and the body fat level is determined by a serious of mathematical calculations, not actual limb by limb measurements. The accuracy of these readings can error by as much as 5 percent body fat. When you consider that this could apply to the measurements Metcalf received you realize that this could take his body fat levels all the way up to between a six and seven percent fat.
    Just this season, the NFL started to use the DEXA scan as an additional measurement of body fat in the competing athletes. While more accurate due to the data being determined by a series of specific measurements, there is still a margin of error here and the data is more comprehensive making it more diffitcult to easily spit out a quick answer. To this point, this in depth analysis is privy only to the scouting departments of these teams and the media does not have access to them.
    Regardless of the actual validity of the number, what should be more concerning to you is whether or not this low a body fat level is even desirable. Some may not like the way it looks aesthetically, but I’m not going to get into that since that is due to personal preferences. Instead, we want to look at the science of this type of body fat level and the medical concerns with being this low.
    It is not uncommon for people at less than 5 percent body fat to have negative hormonal implications, impacting their testosterone levels and their virility. Beyond that however, the function of the brain can be incredibly impaired. Brain fog, confusion, and lack of concentration are all risks of carrying too low of a body fat level that definitely don’t mix well with being a high performing athlete.
    Add in the high risk of joint injury that occurs from having poor lubrication of the joints at too low of body fat level and you have the recipe for a disaster. The key is to maintain fat in the 8 to 12 percent range to allow for maximum performance without having to risk getting too low in the pursuit of it.

      Brady is the most unathletic athlete out there but he's a genius of the game. A lot of QBs don't need to be athletic, mobile or strong they need to be able to read plays and defences plus have an accurate arm. That's why the combine is sometimes flawed as a dude like Brady is still dominant today.

      @@jasonvictor4867 Nope.
      Players are allowed to pretty much pick and choose what they do at the combine, and because of that there are only a few tasks that both Brady and Johnson performed during their respective drafts. According to the multiple websites I checked, here were the results of those tasks:
      Brady
      40-yard: 5.30 sec.
      Vertical jump: 24.5"
      Broad jump: 99"
      Johnson
      40-yard: 4.35 sec.
      Vertical jump: 42.5"
      Broad jump: 139"
      Johnson's numbers are slightly better than those Jeff posted for Metcalf (and, according to a story by Sporting News a couple of weeks ago, Johnson's was the 8th-best combine performance in NFL history). And Johnson was only deficient in one area for wide receivers, where his hand size only scored a 41/100. Hell, he even got a 41/50 on the Wonderlic.
      By contrast, the only score Brady received that was ABOVE the 40s was his height. He had a 40/100 in the shuttle run, a 25/100 in the 3-cone drill and was 15/100 or below in all other metrics.
      A case can obviously be made for what Brady has accomplished considering his scores compared with those of other top QBs' combine scores, but it looks like we're still waiting on a top receiver who had numbers in Brady's range.
      Take care.

      Pretty sure you mean INTO single digit bf. Under would be death. The answer is pretty similar to other weight loss methods, caloric deficit. It’s easier if you have a good amount of muscle as well. Muscle helps keep your body burning calories. For some it can be very difficult to reach true sub 10%. Some are naturally very lean and can add muscle with little fat gain. Depends on body type, diet, and training (training matters if you don’t want to look like crap at sub 10%)

    Hey Jeff, do you have any advice for people with disabilities? I have fibromyalgia and over the past year I have lost 5 stone (70lbs) and your videos have been a big help with that, but I keep getting ahead of my self, and it is far easier for me to injure my self than most. I want to shave just a few more pounds just to get a 4 pack, I’m not far off and I want to be able to show other people with chronic conditions that even if you can’t get all the way you, can get damn close.thanks for the tutorials man, they’ve helped me no end.

    The guy would be dead at that body fat % I don't need Jeff to tell me this..

      @Thor Odinson actually no male can live under 3% body fat... I think female is 6% or 9%. So... Do some research. Hate to break it to you no male on the planet is under 3%... They would die.. But thanks for your lack of knowledge about the subject. And there's no actual way to get a precise body fat measurement all the ways they use are just an estimation. there is no scan/test to give you 100% accurate reading for Body fat percentage.. So again thanks for your help... 😊
