Tyreek Hill might claim he is the fastest NFL athlete, but DK Metcalf has generated the maximum speed on the football field in the history of the NFL. Unlike Hill, Metcalf not only boasts about his abilities but also constantly delivers peak performance in various sports. Aside from running fast like a cheetah, he also hops like a kangaroo. So, that came in very handy when he appeared on the NBA All-Star celebrity game back in February.
Several celebrities, including rappers, singers, and comedians, appeared in the event, but Metcalf was crowned king after his unbelievable performance and was presented with the MVP trophy. Almost 3 months after the sporting event, the Seahawks‘ WR came out with unsettling news.

The 6 feet wide receiver recently appeared on the Rich Eisen Show to talk about the offseason preparation of the Seahawks. They discussed how Metcalf’s team was doing in the OTAs and Bobby Wagner’s return to the team. The conversation soon led to the wide receiver’s performance in the All-star game. Although he was very humble about his winning the MVP trophy, he also revealed that his awarded trophy was stolen.
Metcalf also added that the trophy was stolen during the transit to Mississippi. And the saddest part of the whole ordeal is that he wanted to gift the now-lost trophy to his mom. Upon hearing this, Rich Eisen was very shocked to hear about the ordeal and asked if Metcalf had reached NBA and asked for a replacement trophy. The wide receiver added that as he is not actually from the NBA, he felt like it would be out of line for him to ask for a replacement.
