Holy mother of steroids...

I know we all have those fears at first blush, but I dunno with this one.  I heard good things I believe about DK as a person. Good family, good character etc. He may just be another megatron type freak. 

 Keep in mind that this photo was taken probably right after we all did 10 sets on the bench.. In other words they’re swollen like me watching vintage bush porn

Yeah. Like 95% of the league isn't on steroids. Kudos to DK for making the most out his cycle/blast by killing it in the gym and eating good. Add Top 99.9% genetics and that's what you get.

Story about Metcalf on my local news website.

https://www.news.com.au/sport/american-sports/nfl/football-prospect-dk-metcalf-is-a-monster-among-men/news-story/a049d0a6f2b56e4d94ba8edbc6ee8e1c

It was picked up in Australia because the facilities Metcalf used are the same facilities Jarryd Hayne used to prepare for the season when he was signed by the 49ers. Even though Hayne was a dud, his name still means something to about 50 people in Australia.

Metcalf will be a third generation NFL player once he makes it into the league, his physique and athleticism should be pretty freaky. Will be interesting to see how he performs at the combine but he should post a 4.45-4.50 40 which is plenty good for a guy his size.

Your take on the "good people don't do steroids" opinion intrigued me.  So I looked up suspected and confirmed steroid users, starting with baseball, because that is the most prominent and easy to access sampling.  Of the list of  25 well known "cases" at least 19 of them were perceived to be good citizens and great guys.  I'm sure the same would be the case with Football Players.  Steroids is a performance enhancing drug, and amongst athletes I don't think it has the same stigma attached to it, as would cocaine or heroin.  For these guys it's about Contracts and Performance.  I don't think being a good person or upbringing had that much to do with it.  Maybe a consideration, but not a deal breaker. With careers and lifestyles at stake, I think "conscience" takes a back seat.  Now, about the "Vintage Bush Porn, you really are "OLD SCHOOL", aren't you.

i think i may gone too broad with my statement. I think all these guys use some form of enhancing substances. They probably cycle as well from time to time... I think by good guy, i meant that decision making support wise, they're more likely to avoid trouble. know their limits, bad decisions. etc. 

Eitherway, it's good to hear that he's not Chris Henry. (RIP)

DK Metcalf. If he runs under a 4.55 he will be in the same neighborhood as Mike Evans (4.53). Hes HUGE. 6'4 230, with ridiculously long arms. Huge catch radius. Beats guys deep, wins 50/50 balls. Has an iniury history, but they all do. Hes a bigger Braylon Edwards without baggage. Hes probably faster than Brandon Marshall, but without his baggage. Hes young, but has an amazing lineage, Father, Grandfather, and Uncle all played Pro Football. He gets it. Dude was a MAN in the SEC, not Div.2. 

 

Jets haven't had a guy like this, a true, young, drafted #1 WR since arguably Keyshawn Johnson. (Ran around a 4.5 flat at 6'3 215 at his combine).

 

If DK blows up the combine and puts in a performance near Mike Evans, just turn in the card. Screw the top 100 lists and professional draft hobbyists telling you you "MUST DRAFT DEFENSIVE TACKLE X", or "BPA is the ONLY way to go"....thats how you wind up drafting Defense 18 out of 20 times, and end up with an underachieving DT and a Safety over Mahomes. And if you dont think theres "value" with the O linemen this year, you take a chance on the freak, possibly elite #1 receiver for your second year QB to grow up with. 

 

And laugh at Kiper and McSham and all of the amateur draftniks while you do it. 

 

The necro thread on Dak Prescott got me reminiscing. Another guy I knew would be good, but the Jets are smarterer than all of us....

@joewilly12 was the guy here who talked up Metcalf way before anyone else though.
Remember how a while afterward someone posted that pic of him and Moore shirtless?

I think that’s when everyone started teasing poor Joe about the gay stuff.

To this day it’s like the gift that keeps giving. 😂

I'm not sure he's Hill but their level of production in college is eerily similar.  Metcalf scares the ever living snot out of me.  

The OP compared him to Mike Evans and I have no earthly clue where that comparison comes from, nowhere even close the same production in college.  

I wouldnt touch him personally.  At #3???? OMG hell no.

Did this guy ever get anything right? 🤪

I'm at a loss with this DK infatuation suddenly. I was okay with it last night if Allen was gone, but I asked paradis why he thought Metcalf should be taken at 3. Never heard back, but I trusted his judgement. Now today after reading more about him, WTF? Has he played even 20 games? Look, you guys know way more about these prospects then I do, but eff this guy. Between the broken foot and neck surgery, and lack of on field experience, take him at 3? Come on now.

If I had to guess all this talk about him doesn't matter though. After releasing Long, I'm almost certain the Jets have decided to reach on their top pick, and it won't be for Metcalf (thank God). I'm thinking it's Jonah for sure now. If he can't play LT right away they just plug him in at T and call it a day. 

Oof.

Not looking to knock the kid, but I look at these career highlight things like this: If I put one together of myself hitting my best shots on the golf course in local tournaments, a bunch of you would be lining up to sponsor me on the Senior Tour. But you watch me actually play over a bit of time, you'd realize you were watching a 5 or 6 cap who struggles in a Club Championship setting. No doubt DK's got pedigree, size and talent. But he has to be raw, and he's had injuries two of his 3 seasons at Ole Miss. At the 12-15 range, ok give him a shot. But at 3? Not my choice. I'd rather we go with either Josh Allen or even Greedy at CB. I think the Jets are looking OL now though. 

 @14 in Greenwas also very modest about his golf game!

What did I get wrong?  lol. I wouldn’t have drafted him at #3 overall. Still wouldn’t have.  And Evans is way better than Metcalf. Lol.  Good try though.  I didn’t say he sucks or would bust, just he’s scary and wouldn’t touch him at #3.   Not really a got ya!  But appreciate your effort

I was only teasing you, because the other day I complimented you for being right so often. I thought you’d rem er that and get the joke. 😉
