The Pittsburgh Steelers signed WR DK Metcalf to a $150 million contract, but he’s bringing his lunchpail to work. His proverbial lunchpail, anyway, in the sense that he is embracing the work ahead. Already active during Phase 1 of the offseason program, he talked about the importance of showing up at this time.
“I’m just trying to get acquainted with my new teammates, so I’m not just showing up during training camp and thinking everybody’s just going to let me just walk in”, Metcalf told Teresa Varley for the Steelers’ website. “I’m just trying to work my way from the ground up, trying to get to know everybody, show everybody I’m a hard worker, and try to gain respect and trust from my teammates”.
