Before he arrived in Seattle, DK Metcalf had never heard of Steve Largent.
“Not at all,” he said.
Metcalf soon learned all about the Seahawks’ Hall of Fame wide receiver, who from 1976 to ’89 had 819 catches for 13,089 yards, 100 touchdowns and — as the legend was told to Metcalf — zero drops.
Before his NFL debut Sunday, Metcalf made a not-so-subtle entrance into CenturyLink Field by wearing Largent’s No. 80 throwback jersey that he bought himself (retail price: $149.99) during a recent shopping trip to the team pro shop in Renton.
