DK Metcalf proving all of his critics wrong with the Seahawks

While the Seattle Seahawks have won both games by a combined three points, DK Metcalf has looked like the perfect puzzle piece for their offense.

The Seattle Seahawks have begun the 2019 season with two straight wins over AFC North opponents. While the team has won both games by a combined three points, D.K. Metcalf has looked like the perfect puzzle piece for their offense.

Throughout the draft process, Metcalf quickly became an internet sensation when a workout picture of his surfaced. In the picture, the rookie wideout stands out among the rest of the players in the picture as he appears to have zero-percent of bodyfat.

Along with the photo, the athletically gifted receiver also turned some heads at the NFL Combine with his 40-yard dash times. The Ole Miss product was able to show off his blazing speed at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, by running the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds.

Despite his physique and NFL Combine results, many scouts and fans stated their opinion that Metcalf would be a ‘certified bust' in the NFL. Their opinions on Metcalf formed when the rookie receiver ran his three-cone drill in 7.38 seconds (slower than Tom Brady).

Nevertheless, the Seahawks took a chance on the talented pass-catcher in the second round of this year's draft. Since his arrival, Metcalf has formed a nice rapport with Russell Wilson as a deep threat in the offense.

To begin the season, the Seahawks took on the Cincinnati Bengals and all eyes were on Metcalf. The first-year wide receiver silenced his critics in Week 1 by hauling in four receptions for 89 yards. As a matter of fact, Metcalf led the team in both receptions and yards as the Seahawks defeated the Bengals 21-20.

Some of the critics may have thought it was an aberration but Metcalf proved in Week 2 that he is here to stay. On Sunday, the 21-year-old wideout was phenomenal again against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Despite some of the offense struggling, Metcalf helped the Seahawks take a two-score lead in the fourth quarter with a 28-yard touchdown catch. Altogether, Metcalf finished the game with three receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown.

Albeit it has only been two weeks, the people who believed that Metcalf wouldn't be a formidable NFL receiver should begin to write their apologies now.
