DK Metcalf running the 100 in a US track and field event tomorrow

he's football fast, but he's gonna find out what being track fast is all about

Oh, this should be fun. I'm curious how he will do against track athletes, I can't wait!

he acquitted himself well, beating expectations (10.36)

but he still came in last in his heat

track sprinters are no joke

Did beat a couple runners in a different heat though - he didn't fast last overall.

He did well. He obviously has been training and took this quite seriously. Good job DK.

i was very impressed with him -- both on and off the track

10.36 @ 235 lbs with no history of running the 100 is pretty extraordinary

but his interview afterward was arguably even better -- he said all the right things

i am a fan

Nice try, there is definitely a big difference between NFL speed and track speed but kudos to him either way. I’m sure his coaches are extremely happy that he didn’t come up with a hammy though

Just amazing for a guy of that size. Are you kidding ! 10.36. Big difference between NFL and professional track.
