‘He Makes Everything Look Terrible’: Asante Samuel Sr. Blames DK Metcalf For Aaron Rodgers’ Struggles

The Pittsburgh Steelers made several big changes to their offense this past offseason. That started with trading for DK Metcalf and signing him to a massive contract extension. While that looked like a good move at the time, it hasn’t paid off this season. Metcalf only has 45 catches for 605 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games. Asante Samuel Sr., former NFL cornerback and father of current Steelers cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., thinks Metcalf is to blame for Aaron Rodgers’ struggles this season.

“He’s a non-factor,” Samuel said recently on his Say What Needs To Be Said podcast.
