When the Pittsburgh Steelers made a significant trade in early March to land wide receiver DK Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks, the goal was to add a big-time threat in the passing game, one that could dominate opponents.
Adding quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the mix should help Metcalf significantly improve this season, especially in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s scheme.
That was on display throughout training camp as Metcalf was a force for the Steelers, especially on quick hitters and in red zone work, where Metcalf could rack up a number of touchdowns. Ahead of the 2025 season, The Athletic sees a monster season ahead for Metcalf, predicting he finds the end zone 10-plus times.
