Ole Miss Steelers knew about 'freak' DK Metcalf years ago

PITTSBURGH -- The run up to the 2019 NFL draft raised DK Metcalf's profile because of viral pictures of his chiseled physique and a double-take performance at the combine. His four catches for 89 yards in his Seattle Seahawks debut only intensified his promise on the field.

But all that is old news to Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Donte Moncrief, who got the drop on Metcalf around 2013. Moncrief was a junior at Ole Miss when he and teammates attended a game at nearby Oxford High School, where Metcalf was an emerging prep talent.
