DK Metcalf on his debut as a Pittsburgh Steeler ๐ ‘I’m mad at myself!’ | NFL on ESPN
DK, walk me through the final three minutes and 13 seconds of this game. You guys start out with the ball in your 19 yardd line. What is the message in the huddle as you guys march down the field and kick that 60 yard field goal? Uh well, shout out to Bos, shout out to the O line for, you know, blocking uh you know, so he could be able to kick that uh ball, but um message was just make plays, just do what we do. Um I mean, we we ran our simple offense and uh you know, we executed at the end of the day. This game felt like a fist fight today. You guys were going back and forth. There were moments where it got chippy. What was the message and the mentality you guys tried to set here at Metife? Um, well, this was our first time, you know, uh, together. There was a lot of new faces here in Pittsburgh. So, um, the message is go out there and just show show who you are and just be yourself. And I think, uh, you know, we did a good job with that today, but, you know, it’s always something to work on so we can be better. Aaron Rogers debut, your debut in a Steelers uniform. How did you guys build chemistry so seamlessly throughout this game? Um, you know, this is our first time lining up uh, you know, as a as a complete offense, uh, out there on the field. So, um, there there are some growing pains, but, you know, we worked through it, uh, on the sideline, the communication, talking in the locker room, talking. So, um, I mean, it just came to fruition out here on the field. On that note, 22 players wearing a Steelers uniform today. That was the first time they had lined up together. Were you surprised at how quickly you guys were able to gel out there? No, cuz uh, we we spent a month together in Latro, so uh, we’ve already been around each other. We know each other, so it’s just time to start putting pieces together. Four catches, 83 yards. Not bad for your debut. Yeah. Uh, we can we can do better cuz I’m mad at myself about a few a few of them. What are you mad about? The drops. I got to be better. All right. Thanks, DK. Appreciate it. Thank you. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]

A few drops like he said but bro is a beast, we got a sneak peak worth 80+ yards
LoL
HE AVERAGED 20 YARDS A CATCH TODAY
I really wish we kept Pickens for just one more season. With DK and our TEโs that could have been Rodgers best receiving lineup of his career
Shawty got 2 mics in one hand ๐
He started the game with a drop, but once he got into the flow, the jets didn't know what to do with him
DK is a daaawwwgg!
Never really been a fan of the Steelers. I like this group though. A A Ron doesn't have to throw it deep. He has weapons
DK Metcalf seems like a really solid Dude! RESPECT ๐๐ป
I think he performed extremely well today. Maybe I have low expectations after the last 3 yrs but he was pretty good!
That dude is a UNIT.
DK has a great outlook and a great attitude also kept it real about his shortcoming and seems mentally prepared to reverse them. ๐
bad game by his standards and still played well. top 3 receiver in the league easily.
Dk had a good game but mad about the drops… nice to see humble self evaluating attitude from a Steeler receiver.
Accountability
Nice work DK
Here we go
Steelers W โ๏ธ๐ช
Why does every reporter have to be a female now? Is there a mandate?
The drops I gotta be better those words give me much faith in this guy.
Well I love DJ now, Iโm not a football fan, I donโt have a team just follow players. Iโll follow DJ, and Rogers this year
whos still mad we got this instead of criminal george
I expected dk to score a touchdown ๐ฎโ๐จ
always a really cool guy
His YAC ability is incredible..he needs to focus on getting the ball but once he gets it he is lethal
Simple offense, what an ***. Yeah Iโm sure when you were losing the pretty much the entire game coach was like yeah guys letโs just keep running our simple offense ๐คก
Those 2-4 yard passes that were painful to watch over the years are now potential 30+ yard gains ๐คฏ DK is different
Hope he does better for the Steelers. He cost the Seahawks too much with his attitude and penalties. A ridiculous amount of penalties that hurt himself and his teammates. Wish him the best. When Metcalf is shining he's amazing.
Better than Pickens for sure ๐๐ผ
Can you Imagine Pickens standing there talking like this? Not in a million years.
Love fuk๐
Love dk best in the business ๐๐
The 12's are so glad DK is happy there. What a beast. Much respect!
Metcalf already feels like a natural steeler!!!
ramsey was a steal
Nice guy ๐๐ป
See you next week DK go hawks!!
DK a dawg. His YAC was nice to have for once.
Balled out. I love you DK
Gardner is a top flight shut down corner. DK had a tough matchup. Just wait Steeler fans. A HEALTHY Rodgers/Metcalf combo will look similar to Rodgers/Adams.
Holding himself accountable.
Good thing these reporters looking regular, not slutty.
DK๐โญ๐ค๐
It's ok sauce was on you like glue
DK seems like the kinda WR Aaron would like as a person.
Seeing him mature and take accountability is awesome. Dude has the ingredients to be something unreal, would love to see him and AR figure it out
DK is a TE that can run a 4.4. Guy is a freak of nature.
Tbh AR fast ball are crazy once DK adapts they will be UNSTOPPABLE๐๐พ GO STEELERS
Man all we gotta do is put this dude on a wheel route and play catch me if you can. Go Steelers!!!!!!!!!!
