DK Metcalf Looking Forward To Lining Up Next To ‘Jitterbug’ Calvin Austin III

He doesn’t have the chance to line up opposite George Pickens with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but new star receiver DK Metcalf is looking forward to running routes alongside another young receiver who continues to generate buzz this offseason.

That would be Calvin Austin III, whom wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni says is the unquestioned WR2 for the Steelers entering the 2025 season.

Speaking with reporters Wednesday on Day 2 of mandatory minicamp, Metcalf gave his early impressions of Austin.

“He’s a jitterbug out there, but he’s explosive as heck,” Metcalf said, according to video via the Post-Gazette on YouTube.
