DK Metcalf has a message for all those who questioned the authenticity of his one-handed catch in a video that went viral in February.
During a recent appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show," the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver said the catch was real.
"That was actually me jumping up," Metcalf said. "I jumped up 6 feet."
When asked what he thinks of people who don't believe the catch was real, Metcalf responded, "I leave it up to them 'cause I know the truth. If they want to continue to question me, then that's (on) them."
The NFL may have had some questions about the catch, too, as Metcalf was selected for a performance-enhancing substance test soon after the video and his MVP performance at the 2023 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
