The Russell Wilson trade was one of the biggest trades in NFL history. The Seahawks received a new quarterback, Drew Lock, and a few handpicks for the upcoming draft. While some are still skeptical about his abilities, DK Metcalf is still optimistic about his new QB.

Earlier, when fans were hesitant about Drew Lock being the starting quarterback. Metcalf came in defense of the star with a funny tweet. This shows what a player he is. It’s not always about playing with a big guy, it’s about making an impact. And the wide receiver knows it very well.

DK Metcalf opens up on the Wilson trade!

In a recent episode of KG Certified, Metcalf was having a chill time with the NBA legend Kevin Garnett on the show. The duo discussed various aspects of the game, including Wilson’s abrupt departure from the team.

Having been left as the only superstar after Wagner was released as a free agent, the 24-year-old seems less bothered and more concerned about his game.

When asked about Wilson’s release he said, “I first heard it when I was at a Gatorade shoot. I was in shock because I didn’t think it was going to happen.” But destiny had something else destined, leaving him no choice but to accept Drew Lock as his new QB.

He also stated that Wagner’s departure was the one that hurt him the most. A good receiver’s journey is often guided by great quarterbacks, and Wilson, moving to Broncos, raised many eyebrows concerning Metcalf’s future in the team.

With a bright future ahead for the young wide receiver, the ascending all-pro talent will have to stay with the organization. Because if the Seahawks want to get a significant advantage in the upcoming season without Wilson, Metcalf is the first person capable of doing so.

“I’m going into Year 4, and I think it’s time for me to step up and be a leader,” Metcalf spoke about his intentions recently on Garnett’s show. At several stages this offseason, the WR bestowed his hopes upon Drew Lock and the team. Even though Lock will never be an exact compensation for Wilson, his abilities are far-fetched.

Some of his greatest starts appeared in the 2020 season. He threw over 300 yards and secured a QB rating of more than 100. With a super-confident Metcalf being on his side, Drew Lock can easily kick-start his new stint as the Seahawks QB for the upcoming season.
