DK Metcalf Worst Red Zone WR In The NFL?? Apr 15, 2025

Show notes

DK Metcalf was an enigma in Seattle. Nobody had his combination of size and speed at the receiver position. He never fully realized that potential and is now a Steeler. Gone is his tremendous talent, but also some of his undeniable shortcomings. I knew Metcalf was not great in the red zone. I had no idea just how bad. I share his numbers here and explain why Seattle may actually benefit from his absence in some situations.
