Before the comment section floods with insults and commentary about how there’s no way Parris Campbell out-performed D.K. Metcalf, I’d like to remind everyone this column is not a top-performer narrative. It’s a ‘favorite’ narrative. And the two are different.
Metcalf stole the show in Indianapolis. And for good reason. His media session was solid, his workout was great and the tearful shot of him speaking to his family was a golden example of just how much humanity clings to this ‘game’.
I couldn’t be happier for the young man. But, if you’ve been paying attention, he was supposed to do well.
