Jets take notice of D.K. Metcalf’s freakish day at the combine

Jets coach Adam Gase went out of his way to praise Sam Darnold’s current weapons at the combine. Could he and the Jets be looking to give their franchise quarterback another?

The Jets’ official Twitter account posted a video of freakishly athletic Ole Miss receiver D.K. Metcalf’s 40-yard dash Saturday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Metcalf, who is 6-foot-3, 228 pounds, did it in 4.33 seconds.

“4.33? At that size? We see you, @dkmetcalf14,” the Jets’ post read.

Metcalf, who missed last season at Ole Miss because of a neck injury, also bench pressed 225 pounds 27 times and was impressive during the gauntlet drill, catching all seven passes thrown his way.
