The Pittsburgh Steelers truly found their cornerstone on the offensive side of the ball for years to come in their new star WR, DK Metcalf.
Who Metcalf is on the football field—an ever-athletic, lightning-fast, 6’4″ mammoth of a wide receiver—is nothing compared to his work ethic and values shaped by loyalty.
Loyalty, according to Metcalf on Marshawn Lynch and Mike Robinson’s Da Get Got Pod, is one of the most important qualities to have. Metcalf proved how far his loyalty runs when he committed to Ole Miss as a freshman in high school and saw it through until the very end of his collegiate career.
Metcalf would then argue that when he notices a teammate in a precarious situation—one that requires a physical altercation of sorts on the football field—he feels obligated to ‘insert himself.’
His loyalty to his teammates is truly admirable and doesn’t just start and end on the football field—it also extends into the weight room:
“When I’m working out, I’m not just working out for myself or to look good. I gotta work out to make sure I’m there for my brothers on Sunday.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers will need to do right by Metcalf, as while the former Seahawks receiver will do all in his power to lift up his teammates, the Black and Gold has done little as of late to prove themselves capable of reciprocating the loyalty.
