RENTON — Russell Wilson isn’t doing anything to quiet the hype surrounding rookie receiver DK Metcalf.
“He’s got the talent to be a Hall of Fame-type player,” the quarterback said after the Seahawks’ second training-camp practice Friday.
“But,” Wilson quickly added, “he hasn’t played Game 1 yet. He’s got to prove it every day. How you do it is you prove it today, you prove it tomorrow, you prove it the next day and you let ’em add up. Then you look back at it and hopefully it was worth it.”
The Seahawks, certainly, hope Metcalf is worth all the anticipation, and to help steer that potential into production Metcalf met Wilson in Southern California earlier this month for extra throwing sessions together.
