Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was named the third-best slot receiver in the game by Touchdown Wire, now it’s DK Metcalf’s turn for a little love.
Mark Schofield has ranked Metcalf No. 15 out of all the outside wide receivers in the league.
“Since entering the league Metcalf has been one of the most dangerous vertical receivers in the NFL, and 2020 was no exception,” Schofield writes. “He was targeted on 29 passes of more than 20 yards last season, according to charting data from Pro Football Focus, and turned those targets into 12 receptions for 480 yards and four touchdowns.

“The pairing of Metcalf with Russell Wilson, a great deep-ball thrower, is perfect for the Seattle offense.”
