Russell Wilson on rookie D.K. Metcalf He

, one of the most underrated players in the NFL during his eight-year NFL career, . This is noteworthy because replacing his productivity will go a long way in determining just how good this offense can be. This brings us to Muggsy Bogues Jersey the 2019 NFL Draft; Seattle landed D.K. Metcalf, widely considered a first-rounder and likely the first wide receiver off the board, with the 64th pick. There were concerns about Metcalf's durability (he struggled with injuries at Ole Mi s), and his route-running ability -- despite blazing a 4.33 40-yard time at the combine. The early returns have not only been rea suring but Metcalf . "It's great seeing D.K. make his plays," quarterback said last week from minicamp, Norman Powell Jersey according to the team's website. "I think D.K. is looking really, really special. He can do anything and everything and he's tremendous." And it's not just the athleticism, it's his understanding of his role in this offense. "His knowledge of the game first," Wilson continued. "Everybody knows about his ability to run and jump and catch and all that. But I think more than anything else, it's his brain, how he proce ses information, how quickly he understands it. He's really intelligent, he understands the game really well. He takes coaching well, he gets extra work. He's a legit pro wide receiver. He's everything everyone was talking about in terms of what he's capable of and more." Wilson's comments come some six weeks after coach Pete Carroll couldn't say enough good things about Metcalf following the first day of Yuta Watanabe Jersey rookie minicamp. "Well, it's almost like, what doesn't impre s you about Metcalf , you know?" Carroll told reporters in early May. "I mean, he's big and he's fast. He's got really good feet, you know, and his catching range Dewan Hernandez Jersey was exhibited today for a start. And you know, we've got to figure it out, figure out where it is, maybe even more unique than we thought coming in. So we just develop it as we go. But big and really fast and the catching range was really obvious today." Metcalf gives the another legitimate deep threat opposite , who quietly had an outstanding 2018 campaign. There's also rookie , a fourth-round pick who played with at West Virginia; he's a big, fast slot receiver who gives Wilson another athletic downfield threat. Put another way: Seattle's offense will almost certainly be more dynamic next season and the defense, with the addition of edge rusher L.J. Collier (2019 first-round pick) and safety (2019 second-round pick) could be a top-10 unit. Vegas gives the than the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl (8-to-1 vs. 25-to-1) but we like Seattle to win the NFC West, mostly because of Ru sell Wilson and the Hakeem Olajuwon Jersey defense, but also because of what Metcalf brings to this offense.
