JFC. I drafted Boston over Torrey Holt and then Boston lost his mind, then his career. Don't need this guy getting wound so tight that he pops a tendon on a cut. Not linking it. Randy Moss made a career out of being like gumby. Wound too tight is not good in the NFL.
certainly doesnt look natural, but I always get in trouble when I suggest that
ETA: I'm calling this is a fake picture. If it's real... I like one of the comments in the Twitter post: dont tell Metcalf where the infinity stones are
I agree. There is a such thing as too big for a WR. Unless he wants to switch to TE.lod001 said:
Same.
sigh... I was 100% on board with this guy this morning. Now I am starting to feel like that meme of Homer Simpson backing into the bushes.
Looking at this and past pictures of him, his triceps just seem bigger. chest and abs look the same as any other picture I've seen of him. he looks like he is internally rotating the right shoulder to catch more of a profile of the triceps too.
Somehow I think Gronk was a more accomplished football player coming into the league than Metcalf. That body cannot help him if those pictures aren't fake.
It can help him in some ways but not in any way that takes advantage of his strengths.
I mean you know it was a joke, right? Either pic is fake, Metcalf is about to cut down to his fighting weight or he’s in trouble heading into the combine. Let’s see what he actually weighs in at and runs
Someone mentioned David Boston somewhere
I believe I said, "if those pictures aren't fake".
Hahaha who puts a 7 year old under a bench press??? These are starting to sound like tall tales.
Actually they claim he could bench 100 before the first grade. His dad was one of those Marinovich types who started training DK to be a pro athlete at age 5.
successful. Boston roided himself out of the league.
I don’t think this is just natural growth, he’s clearly on a massive lifting program along with lots of supplements and a huge diet. People don’t just look like that without an incredible effort. If he continues to train like that, he will get bigger. He just turned 21 last month, he hasn’t even hit his peak strength and adult size yet.
Again the photo may be altered or it’s just a weird angle or something but his appearance is a major outlier. NFL WRs aren’t that big. On top of the fact he’s already a major outlier in that WRs with such limited college production never go as high as he’s projected. Now of course let’s wait for the combine to make any final decisions but there’s plenty of reason for pause right now.
Agreed. This sort of strength is not a bad thing for a huge WR.
It is not altered >>>> The draft combine is in two weeks, and Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf looks, uh, prepared
This is somewhat of an assumption. Surely they all are workingout and taking protein shakes and vitamins but some athletes are just genetically gifted which could easily be the case here. I knew a few guys in college that barely worked it at all but we’re unbelievably strong and looked like Greek gods.
Not much of an assumption when we know his dad began his weight training at age 5. He’s certainly gifted genetically but he’s also working really hard to maximize it.
Boston was only 6’1” 215 at the combine. His massive weight gain came a few years into career. Supposedly went from 230 to 260 going into 2003 season.
You are right on the detail and I'm right in that with the extra added artificial muscle being a positive because he crushed it with the added muscle.
