DK Metcalf is an American professional football wide receiver currently playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL. He was born in Oxford, Mississippi, and played college football at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) before declaring for the 2019 NFL Draft, where the Seattle Seahawks selected him in the second round (64th overall)[4][2]. Metcalf is notable for his rare combination of size, strength and speed (listed about 6'4", ~229–235 lb), traits that made him an immediate impact player as a physical deep threat and contested-catch target[1][6]. He started as a rookie for Seattle, setting a team record for receiving yards in a debut game and posting 58 receptions for 900 yards and seven touchdowns in 2019; he also produced a 7-catch, 160-yard, 1-touchdown performance in the 2019 Wild Card playoff win over Philadelphia[1][2][3]. Metcalf has reached the 1,000-yard receiving mark multiple times, logged a career-high 1,303 receiving yards in 2020, and earned Pro Bowl and All‑Pro recognition during his career with Seattle[1][2]. Over his first six NFL seasons he established consistent production and big-play metrics (noted for high air-yard share and top pursuit speeds), leading to a reputation as one of the league’s premier physical receivers[1][2]. After six seasons in Seattle (2019–2024), Metcalf signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where his career totals include hundreds of receptions and several thousand receiving yards through his tenure in the league[5][6]. Beyond on-field achievements, Metcalf has been a high-profile figure because of his measurable athleticism and social-media visibility; he has been involved in standard player activities such as endorsements and community outreach reported during his pro career[1][3]. Recent team changes and season-by-season performance continue to define his current relevance as a primary offensive weapon and matchup challenge for opposing defenses[5][6].
