Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf staying on the field late in the fourth quarter of the Week 14 road game against the Baltimore Ravens to take a special teams snap at gunner for an injured teammate was rather special.
It showed that Metcalf was willing to do whatever it takes to win a football game. That he hadn’t taken a rep at gunner in his entire NFL career and had just one rep at gunner at Ole Miss didn’t matter. There was a job to do on a crucial punt, and he was the man for the job.
