He literally jogged like 4.6 right there. I was listening to 710 Bob, Tom amd Groz ( My least favorite) . They were discussing who would make the biggest impact amongst the rookie WR and they all said Jennings.. So the guy who isn't even practicing right now vs the guy with a top 10 grade, who has already put in work with the starting QB, stays after every practice to run routes with same QB , Who KJ Wright said Metcalf and Wilson already have chemistry this early. It defies all logic . Are people afraid of being disappointed?

Yep. Its a bizarre affliction but definitely rampant. FOD syndrome. Fear of Disappointment.

More Metcalf, your gonna want that Metcalf on the field! I gotta have more Metcalf!
METCALF SHOWS SOME METTLE
Just about every move DK Metcalf makes is sure to be analyzed — if not overanalyzed — particularly in light of the hype that greeted his drafting and then his performance in the team’s rookie minicamp.

It’s fair to say his impact has predictably leveled off some as OTAs — and the team’s veteran players — arrived. Metcalf had a drop on a slant route Tuesday on a day when the passing game in general often seemed to be a struggle.

But late in the day Metcalf also showed the coaches an ability to bounce back from a bad play that he’ll need to make it in the NFL.

ADVERTISING

During a red-zone drill Metcalf was targeted on a fade route going one-on-one against undrafted rookie cornerback Davante Davis, who broke up the pass.

The Seahawks decided to try again, going right back to Metcalf on the next play. This time, Metcalf got better position against Davis and reeled in the pass for a touchdown, a sequence that impressed offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.

“We went right back to him and he made good on his promise to make that play,’’ Schottenheimer said. “ … tried to throw a little fade to DK (on the first play) and he didn’t quite finish it. Came right back to it. Paxton (Lynch) made a nice throw on the outside, see him compete for the ball. That was good.’’

Metcalf also spent some time working after practice with Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett and Keenan Reynolds, a session in which he appeared to be working specifically on route releases with Lockett.

Lockett said that as a veteran he just saw wanted to pass along some stuff to Metcalf and that, overall, he thinks Metcalf is on a good path to contribute significantly right off the bat.

“He’s away ahead of what people on the outside probably expect him to be,’’ Lockett said.

Lockett working with him after practice. Heard Tyler on the radio that he is teaching him to not only use his size and speed in obvious ways but to use it against DBs that are forced to respect it in terms of a chess match aspect. (He said it better than I did)
