*D.K. Metcalf – Noteworthy
Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf followed up his jaw-dropping viral photos of his chiseled chest and six-pack abs with another jaw-dropper at the NFL scouting combine. Metcalf checked in at 6-foot-3 and 228 pounds with an incredibly low body fat index of just 1.9 percent. That’s about 10 percent lower than most wide receivers. Metcalf said he got his impressive physique by working out in preparation for the combine. No, he said, the photo that first blew up on social media after Ole Miss teammate AJ Brown posted it wasn’t doctored in any way. Metcalf says he was surprised the photo got so much attention and he hears about it everywhere he goes, from fans wondering what his diet and workouts are like to coaches talking about his physique. “Every team room I walk into,” Metcalf said, “they’re always like, “Wow. You are really that big.” – AP Football
*D.K. Metcalf – Noteworthy
A recently surfaced picture of D.K. Metcalf had people wondering if it was real. There was nothing fake about Metcalf’s Saturday performance at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Metcalf, an Oxford native, checked in at 6’3″ and 228 pounds. The former Ole Miss wide receiver put up 27 reps on the bench press. That was to be expected. Metcalf had everyone doing a double take when he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds, which tied for the second best time among wide receivers. Metcalf had a vertical jump of 40.5″, good for second best. Metcalf’s 134″ broad jump was fourth best among wide receivers. Many experts believe Metcalf cemented himself as the top wide receiver prospect in the NFL Draft. – WTVA TV
