RENTON — Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf presented a rather, well, youthful front during his first NFL game Sunday.
Thanks in part to a suggestion from teammate Gary Jennings, Metcalf wore a mouthguard painted as a baby’s pacifier.
Metcalf indicated there was no great meaning to it, just something fun to do.
Any reaction from anybody?
“No, not really,’’ said Metcalf.
Everything else about Metcalf’s first NFL game, though, gave the appearance of a player wise beyond his years — up to, and including, his interviews afterward and later in the week in which he resisted the idea that any of it was all that big of a deal.
