Seahawks winning despite almost no contribution from rookies

DK Metcalf caught a big 40-yard touchdown on Thursday night and his rookie contributions (12 catches, 267 yards, 2 TDs, NFL-best 22.25 yards per catch) have been outstanding. I think he’s been far better than not only the expectation of a late second round pick, but the higher expectations of people who thought he should have been a first round pick. The first five games of Metcalf’s career should drive many a fan’s fantasies about what the future holds for him. Yes, let us all sing the praises of Metcalf immediately. He’s proving to be a rookie that the Seahawks needed right away and he’s producing.
