RENTON, Wash. -- When DK Metcalf lasted all the way until the end of the second round, much later than the Seattle Seahawks thought he would be drafted, it wasn't the first time he surprised his new team.
That came two months earlier in a meeting room at the scouting combine.
"I was surprised that he came into our interview with his shirt off," coach Pete Carroll said, drawing laughter from general manager John Schneider and the assembled media, after the Seahawks chose Metcalf 64th overall Friday night.
The backstory goes like this: Seahawks area scout Aaron Hineline and co-director of player personnel Trent Kirchner convinced Metcalf to take off his shirt before walking into their meeting in Indianapolis, exposing the hulking physique that had made headlines in a viral photo from a few weeks earlier.
