Seahawks allowing DK Metcalf to run the 100 meters is unusual

You’ve seen the clip. You’ve heard the chatter. You might have even seen a t-shirt.

Legend holds that DK Metcalf maintained a top speed of a mildly aggravated rhinoceros over the while chasing down Budda Baker over 100 yards to prevent a defensive touchdown.

Now, he’s running against elite sprinters in an Olympic Trials qualifying meet. This story has seen no small amount of attention, from “I heard DK is running in the Olympics” to “he will be destroyed”, from a former Olympic runner.

I love Metcalf as an incredible player for my team, and I don’t think he’ll do well.
