DK Metcalf Admits He Is Faster Than Niners “Wide Back” Deebo Samuel: “I Don’t Like Talking About Other Players in a Negative Way… I’Ma Just Say I’m Very Fast. I’m Faster Than Him.”

The Seattle Seahawks 2021 NFL season was rife with adversities, and following Russell Wilson’s injury, the season worsened. Furthermore, their wide receiver DK Metcalf was injured, which further dragged down their campaign.

However, DK appeared for an interview with Bleacher Report. The wideout sat down to talk about the process of a and his current psychological state.

In a brief conversation with Bleacher Report’s Taylor Rooks, DK was asked about another breakout star from the NFC, Deebo Samuel. Specifically, he was asked about the comparison between himself and wideout for the San Francisco 49ers.

DK was asked about the skills he possesses and how he compares to Deebo in those areas. DK responded, “I don’t like talking about other players in a negative way… I’ma just say I’m very fast. I’m faster than him.”

Most likely, that is correct, DK is faster than Deebo. At the 2019 NFC Scouting Combine, DK posted a 4.33-second 40-yard, while the “wide back” registered a 4.48-second time.

DK Metcalf recognizes Deebo’s abilities

The Niners use Deebo Samuel in a wide receiver and a running back hybrid role. As a result, Samuel has labeled himself a “wide back.” This is not a role that DK would prefer. Therefore, DK acknowledged that it is something that he cannot do and where Samuel is better than him.

In the same interview, he added, “Deebo is a very versatile player.” Additionally, DK stated that Deebo can line up in the backfield, play wideout, go in the slot, and return punts and kicks.

In seventeen games he played this season, Metcalf totaled 75 receptions of 129 targets for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns. Additionally, he has made great strides since his drafting in 2019.

Therefore, it will be interesting to see how the DK and the Seattle Seahawks make a comeback in the next season. Will they be able to win the Super Bowl LVII? There’s no such thing as too early. So let us know which two teams you want to see competing for the Super Bowl LVII title.
