Great Receivers are often guided by, super cool quarterbacks! This is one of the most widely accepted fun facts in the world of the NFL. DK Metcalf is one such great receiver capable of making an impact alongside great quarterbacks like Russell Wilson for the Seattle Seahawks.

While the fans still feel uneasy over Russell Wilson’s trade, the Seahawks may be looking at Drew Lock as their new starting quarterback. The Lock was part of the Wilson trade, who got shipped from the Denver Broncos to the Seahawks last week.

DK Metcalf defends QB Drew Lock

The superstar wide receiver cleared his stance over the ongoing slander against Drew Lock on Twitter. He asked the fans to chill out for some time and urged them to refrain from slandering the QB. Drew Lock, brought by the Seahawks, happens to be the next most probable candidate for the QB seat after Wilson got traded from the club.

Now, it appears the fans are unhappy over the decision owing to his records. Although Lock kick-started his career with 4 wins out of 5 games, his recent struggles have been a matter of worry among the fans. In the last 16 starts of his game, Lock disappointed the Broncos with a 4-12 record.

The 24-year-old wide receiver is one of the prominent players present in the club. With exceptional abilities and pace, the youngster stands out, in the current NFL era. It is expected that he should have at least four to five years to showcase extremely high-level gameplay.
