Seahawks' DK Metcalf is the big receiver Pete Carroll always wanted

RENTON, Wash. -- On the Seattle Seahawks' first play from scrimmage Sunday in Pittsburgh, DK Metcalf threw out his 35-inch arms to snag a back-shoulder fade that quarterback Russell Wilson threw well behind him.

Two quarters later, Metcalf stiff-armed one defensive back and ran through another to pick up an extra 10 yards after a catch over the middle.

And with the Seahawks clinging to a two-point lead in the fourth quarter, the rookie wide receiver hauled in a 23-yard touchdown pass without gaining much separation from the safety who was tightly covering him.
