Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf had a sensational rookie year in 2019 and is gearing up for 2020 to take the next step in his NFL career. Former team quarterback Jake Heaps expressed his confidence that Metcalf would do just that.
“I think DK Metcalf is going to be a Pro Bowler in Year 2,” Heaps said on 710 ESPN Seattle on Friday. “I just think DK is ready to explode onto the scene yet again in a big way and show that DK Metcalf can be one of the elite receivers in this league.”
Metcalf recorded 58 receptions for 900 yards and seven touchdowns in 2019. He will have to work hard and further his chemistry with Russell Wilson to top that production in his sophomore season.
“I think DK has continued to work extremely hard on his craft, and I think that Russell and DK’s relationship has continued to grow and mature,” Heaps said.
Heaps stated that Metcalf now has expectations to improve and that he cannot get complacent because opposing defenses may adjust to him, but he has been extremely impressive.
“Gosh, I’ve just been so impressed with this guy. He’s been a pro’s pro since the beginning and that has not changed this offseason after a rookie year. You typically see some rookie sensations struggle in the second year or third year of their career because they get comfortable and DK is simply not one of those guys. I expect big things from DK Metcalf and fully believe he will be a Pro Bowler here in Year 2.”
Metcalf will be one of the key components of the Seahawks offense in 2020 . . . if there is even a season.
