DK Metcalf completely burned the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night in a 23-17 victory for his Seattle Seahawks, to the tune of 10 catches for 177 yards.
While speaking about his performance in his postgame press conference, the star receiver said an Eagles coach told him, “I was in Detroit with Megatron [Calvin Johnson], but you’re not there yet.” He said it was indeed Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and that comment led to Metcalf playing with “a little chip on my shoulder the whole game.”
What’s more is Metcalf used the Michael Jordan Last Dance “… and I took that personally” meme on Twitter to confirm it further, even though Schwartz claimed he was complimenting Metcalf, not insulting him.

Jim Schwartz says he complimented DK before game, told him he’s got ton of respect for him & he was with Calvin in Detroit & he’s closest thing to Megatron he’s seen. Jim told him after game, “you may not be Calvin yet but you’re on your way.” Was complimenting @dkm14 both times https://t.co/m5S8naG4Ih

Here’s an idea: don’t ever do that with an opponent, even if you think it’s a compliment and not an insult.
