Steelers WR DK Metcalf reveals invaluable advice his NFL father taught him
DK Metcalf is well-known for his work ethic, getting extra work after practice, pushing himself to the limit in training, and meticulously studying film.
So when Steelers.com reporter Missi Matthews asked what was the most significant piece of advice his NFL dad gave him, Metcalf's response was no a surprise.
Always work hard. I think that hard work is a good foundation for everything that preceeds with my playstyle. Always working on my craft. Always trying to get better. Always trying to win football games no matter what the case may be.
Metcalf's dad, Terrence, was a guard for the Chicago Bears from 2002 to 2008. He played in 84 games with 25 starts.
In a 2020 press conference, Metcalf's then-quarterback Russell Wilson said:
I think he's got the work ethic of greats like Jerry Rice. Not just the game part, but how you practice. And I think that's how DK is, he's got a tremendous work ethic at practice, he's got a tremendous work ethic in the offseason.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin certainly knows the kind of worker Metcalf is. Perhaps he can instill some of his dad's wisdom into George Pickens.
