DK Metcalf’s workout stories are the stuff of legends. The 25-year-old WR has long been hailed as a freak of nature for his freakish athleticism. In fact, his insane workouts and athletic feats have led many to believe that Metcalf may be the greatest pure athlete in all of professional sports. But even he can’t seem to find any bounds to his wild workouts.

Standing at a towering 6’4” and weighing in at 236 lbs, Metcalf set the league on fire years ago, after he recorded a 4.33s 40-yard dash in his NFL combine. Paired with his 40-inch vertical and his staggering lateral agility, the WR has been a revolutionary athlete in the league. Now, he took to IG once again to share his latest athletic exploits that would put bodybuilders to shame.

While some might claim that Metcalf was ‘quarter-repping’ his squats, the WR was actually training for his athletic burst with his quarter-squats. The Seahawks star causally pumped through his workout with the weight equivalent to that of a few men on his back. With his intense workouts, even the most exceptional bodybuilders would be put to shame trying to match up. 

Metcalf prepares for the ‘biggest season’ of his career

Metcalf has never been shy to put in the work. However, even with all his explosive talents, the WR has not matched the incredible potential that his athletic talents make him capable of. But he is finally ready to change that narrative. As he enters the fifth season of his career, this year demands a true breakout year from Metcalf, for him to truly solidify his potential in the league.

Over the course of his career, Metcalf has constantly been affected by the conditions surrounding him. Following his rookie season, every offseason of his career has been marred by the onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic, and a debilitating recovery from knee surgery last year. But this year, Metcalf may finally be able to have his breakout year, after a relatively normal offseason allowed him to truly hone in on his skills. Only time will tell if DK Metcalf truly has the potential to become an NFL legend.
