NFL fans are in shock after learning about the strange-but-true diet that Seattle Seahawks superstar wide receiver DK Metcalf follows daily.
Not that DK Metcalf needs any advice on what to eat and not eat. He’s one of the most athletically gifted NFL players, blessed with a great combination of size, speed, and physicality.

DK Metcalf & Seahawks Look To Bounce Back After Tough 2023 Season
Expectations were a little higher for the Seahawks heading into 2023 after a surprise nine-win season and playoff berth in 2022, led by Comeback Player of the Year and quarterback Geno Smith.
But the Seahawks struggled with consistency on both sides of the ball, and it took a strong finish (3-1 over their final four games) just to finish above .500. The 9-8 record was not enough to qualify for the postseason, as the Green Bay Packers claimed the final wild card spot via tiebreaker.
Metcalf and the Seahawks will try to put the tough season behind them and return to the postseason when they open their season against the Denver Broncos in Week 1.
