Did anyone see the twitter video of D.K running a come back? He is getting hammered. Upright, high-stepping, about 8 pitter patter steps over 5 yds to stop and turn.
Yeah, it looked awful!!

Of the minimum four routes I think Metcalf has to be competent at to make it big in fantasy, the comeback by far will be the toughest. He's got to learn how to sink those stiff hips into his break at least somewhat.

edit: I meant curl, not comeback. :$ Although the routes are very similar, of course. Curls are the more natural complement to Metcalf's expected vertical centric role, though.

I am not a Metcalf fan; but this means nothing to me. We knew that Metcalf is raw and not a good route runner.

Right... And honest question, who is the best WR who is a subpar route runner??

Raw and not a good route runner in my mind is someone who hasnt learned their craft yet.

Are you being intentionally ironic? Looking up the first return on twitter with the search "Metcalf" is like the internet equivalent of actually turning your head to look where someone is pointing.

Even aside from all those extra steps, Metcalf is so stiff he has to turn his entire body's facing inside as his break starts.

Now here's Pettis showing what a good curl looks like:

It was a bad throw. That's why he had to come back for it beyond a traditional comeback. Savvy?
