DK Metcalf has been a vital contributor to the Seahawks in his young career and his trajectory continues to point skyward for the foreseeable future. However, the third-year wide receiver’s strong production has come with a side effect that has flared up at inopportune times.
On a few occasions this season, Metcalf has let his emotions get the best of him, jawing at opposing players and drawing unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that can be easily avoided. This was particularly noticeable near the end of Seattle’s 17-0 defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers, in which he got into an altercation with several Packers players and grabbed the facemasks of Eric Stokes and Henry Black.
