DK Metcalf might be the most physically imposing wide receiver the NFL has ever seen. Drafted in the second round of this past weekend’s NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks (No. 64 overall), the former Ole Miss standout turned a ton of heads when he popped up on the Internet a couple of months ago sporting a Hulk-like physique — especially when standing next to other NFL prospects who looked small compared to Metcalf.

Just how rare of a specimen is DK Metcalf? The wide receiver’s dad actually came out and said that the dude was squatting 100 pounds and bench pressing 50 pounds at age 5 — which is absolutely insane — so it’s not as if we’ve seen the combination of size, strength and speed that DK has to offer. Oh, and he wants to remind everyone that he’s one-of-a-kind.
Appearing on ESPN’s First Take this morning, DK Metcalf joined a conversation between Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman about what the wideout will bring to the NFL. While Stephen A. pointed out that there have been other bullish players at his position — mentioning Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson by name — Metcalf strictly looked the ESPN host right in the eye, slowly listed how much of a freak athlete he really is and confidently used intimidation to change the mind of Stephen A. Smith; which might be a first. Take a look at the video below.
BRUUUUH D.K. is cold as hell🥶, Stephen A. Smith really tried to clown on him and this mf looked him dead in the eyes with a stone cold killer look, and shut him up on his own show with his facts.💀❄️🤧 My mans knows he really is something else, don't try to tell him otherwise pic.twitter.com/qKxVaXdDQU

Let this serve as a warning to anyone who might doubt the ability of DK Metcalf, because the dude isn’t having all the critics pile up about what he might be able to do in the NFL because he’s so different than anything anyone has ever seen before. I mean, c’mon, Metcalf showed up to a pre-draft interview with the Seahawks shirtless to show that he’s not your average wide receiver, so it’ll be interesting to see if he can intimidate the league like he did Stephen A. Smith this morning on First Take.
