A little over a week ago, the Seattle Seahawks signed second-round pick DK Metcalf, meaning they had one of the most physically fit looking wide receivers on their roster in the entire league.
Being physically gifted is one thing, but that doesn’t always translate on the football field.
That much was evident when a video surfaced on social media showing him running a route terribly.
That is not good and getting picked off every time against even the worst of the worst DB’s in the NFL.

That‘s just such a bad route. He takes 7 steps to cut..

He broke down and chopped his feet for 4 yards. Pick 6 the other way. Like he couldn’t get stopped for 9 steps ? NFL standards that is a horrible horrible route

If DK is running routes like this during the season, you could put an 8th grade DB out there and he’s taking it back for a TD.
